Albert W. Fuller


Albert W. Fuller was an American architect practicing in Albany, New York.

Life and career

Fuller was born in the town of Clinton, New York. From 1873 to 1879 he trained as a draftsman in the office of Albany architects Ogden & Wright. He then opened his own office. In 1883 he formed a partnership with William A. Wheeler, a native Albanian who had studied under Boston architects. This firm lasted until 1897. He practiced alone until 1900, when he formed a partnership with William B. Pitcher, a former draftsman of Fuller's. The firm was incorporated in January 1906, and Pitcher retired in 1909, due to poor health. Fuller then established a partnership with William P. Robinson.
The firm lasted until 1934, with Fuller's death. Fuller died in his office, while resting from his work. His death was attributed to heart disease.
