D. Howard Thornton
Daniel Howard Thornton was an American architect from Providence, [Rhode Island].
Thornton established himself as an architect in Olneyville in the 1890s. He remained there until about 1900, when he formed a partnership with Richard C. Sanders, another young architect, in central Providence. Sanders & Thornton was dissolved in 1902, and Thornton partnered with his cousin, Henry C. Thornton. They split about 1903, when Henry left to partner with his brother-in-law, Edwin T. Banning. However, Thornton continued as Thornton & Thornton until his death in 1911.
