Herbert D. Hale

Herbert Dudley Hale (1866 to 1908) was an American-born architect chiefly known for his work in Boston. He was born on July 22, 1866 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, the son of the Boston minister and author Edward Everett Hale. He graduated from Harvard University in 1888 and then attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris for four years. He worked in New York City in 1897 and 1898, and around the turn of the century he established a Boston firm with James Gamble Rogers under the name Hale and Rogers. He also kept a working association with the New York architect Henry G. Morse, and the work of the firm Hale and Morse was carried out under that arrangement; Hale and Morse maintained an office in Philadelphia from 1900 through 1905. Hale married Margaret Marquand, and they had six children, among them the later diplomat Herbert Dudley Hale Jr. He died on November 19, 1908.
