Kansas City, Missouri, ca. 1918-ca. 1939


Arthur William Archer was born in April of 1833 to William and Mary Worrell Archer.[12] He was a Kansas City architect who graduated from the University of Illinois Architecture program in 1907, then worked as superintendent of government buildings in Marietta, Georgia, at least until 1911.[3] Sometime thereafter he opened a practice in Kansas City, Missouri, where he worked through at least the 1930s, part of that time in partnership as Archer & Gloyd. In 1921, he was one of the founders of the Architect’s Small House Service Bureau of Kansas City.[2] He was married to Nell B. Archer.[11] Archer died on July 2, 1950.[12]
