EARL J. ANDREWS;
architect and builder; born, Wilmington, O., Nov.
16, 1882; son of William Garner and Rachel Seal
Andrews; educated, Marion, Ind., high school and
Marion Normal & Science College; married, Canton,
O., Apr. 10, 1904, Birdette Wertenberger;
learned carpenter's trade in Cleveland during summer
vacations and in 1903 finished trade and took up
drawing and designing at the same time following
practical building work; in 1905 started in business
for myself; was the first Cleveland architect to
dispense with sub-contractors adn employ my own
labor and material, thus eliminating annoyance to
clients in dealing with a great number of men; have
built 60 high grade houses in the neighborhood of
Wade Park ranging from $8,000.00 to $30,000.00, in
the last six years;; high grade homes are my
specialty and I make that class of work a study for
the comfort of the owners down to the servants.
Business blocks, factories and apartments are
entirely out of my line. I have never once
failed to deliver a home complete upon the specified
time; the whole secret of this is the absolute
command of all trades during construction; member
Chamber of Commerce, Builder's Exchange, Al Koran
Temple Mystic Shrine, Cour De Leon Commandery;
member Athletic, Automobile, Country and
Manufacturer's Clubs; recreation, bowling in winter
months and baseball fan (33rdº),
and some golf; my parents were natives of Ohio; my
father was raised on a farm; in 1892 he removed to
Marion, Ind., and engaged in the hay and grain
shipping business; my father retired from business
two years ago and bought back his old homestead farm
in Clinton Co.; I have a brother in Marion, Ind.,
who is a mechanical engineer; I own a 60-acre farm
south of Columbus, about 50 miles; have given it
some attention in the summer months, but think I
shall sell or rent to a more practical farmer.
