Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell
Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell was an architecture firm in Boston, Massachusetts. Its principals were Nathaniel Jeremiah Bradlee, Walter Thacher Winslow and George Homans Wetherell. Most of the firm's work was local to Boston and New England, with a few commissions as far afield as Seattle and Kansas City.
The firm is variously credited. Nathaniel Bradlee had run a thriving solo practice in Boston since 1854. In 1872 Bradlee promoted Winslow to partner, creating Bradlee & Winslow for 12 years. In 1884 Wetherell was also promoted, creating Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell.
Bradlee died in 1888. Winslow & Wetherell then formed their partnership as Bradlee's successor firm. Architect Henry Forbes Bigelow joined the organization around 1898, after which the partnership was credited as Winslow, Wetherell & Bigelow, then Winslow & Bigelow, and in its last incarnation Winslow, Bigelow & Wadsworth. Winslow died in 1909 and control of the partnership went to Bigelow.
A number of works by the firm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
