The story
Founded by Charles Amos Cummings and Willard Thomas Sears.1
In the 1860s they kept an office in the Studio Building on Tremont Street, moving in the 1870s to Pemberton Square.
Although most of their works are concentrated in New England, they also were commissioned to design buildings as far west as Utah as well as on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada. Their best known work is Old South Church in Boston, completed in 1875.
Architects who worked in the office of Cummings & Sears include Charles L. Bevins of Rhode Island and Warren R. Briggs and Edward A. Cudworth of Connecticut.
Several of their buildings have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, and others contribute to listed historic districts.
