The story
History
Barker & Nourse was formed March 1, 1879, as the partnership of architects Albert A. Barker (1852–1905) and Walter B. Nourse (1853–1906). They were the successors to the practice of architect John E. Holman, former partner of Amos P. Cutting, Nourse's employer. In its day, the firm was primarily known for its residential and educational designs. They dissolved their partnership effective January 1, 1904, with Barker succeeding to the practice. Both architects practiced independently until their deaths in 1905 and 1906, respectively.
