of the late H. H. Richardson as a student and draughtsman. Here he remained for a year, and he regards the time spent under the tutelage of this man, one of the greatest of modern architects, as of the highest value to him, and feels that the influence attending the association with so great a master had much to do with moulding his tastes in his chosen art and profession. In 1883 he married Miss Bertha J. Tucker of Boston, and in July of the same year came to Minneapolis to establish himself in his profession. The first year in Minneapolis was spent in the office of Plant & Whitney, architects. He then went to Europe, where he spent several months in travel and study, returning in 1885 and opening an office on his own account as an Architect. During the past eleven years in which he has practical his profession in Minneapolis he has made plans for several hundred buildings of both a public and a private nature, and has counted among his clients the Bank of Commerce, the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Land and Investment Company, of Minneapolis; George A. Pillsbury, H. E. Ladd and S. G. Cook, of Minneapolis, and the Minneapolis Street Railway Company. His work has not been confined to Minneapolis, however, but may be found in New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, the Dakotas and the District of Columbia . For two years he filled the position of professor of architecture in the University of Minnesota, at the same time carrying on the practice of his profession. In 1892 he was elected by the Republicans to membership on the Park Board of Minneapolis for a period of six years. He is a director of the Board of Trade, and also of the Young Men's Christian Association, and holds membership in the Commercial Club. He is also President of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In a recent competition for plans for the new Minnesota state capitol, Mr. Jones was awarded the fifth prize of $500, among forty-two competing architects.
