'''Howard B. Bailey''' was born in New York, May 1863, to William C. and Eliza J. Bailey. He went to school in Rochester, and to the University of Rochester, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree before attending two years of graduate school at Cornell.[[#References|[1][2][5]]] 

After Cornell, Bailey moved to Kearney, Nebraska, where he entered into partnership with [[George William Frank, Jr. (1861-1905), Architect|George W. Frank, Jr.]], in the firm of Frank Bailey & Farmer, later, Frank & Bailey. After Frank’s departure, Bailey stayed on in Kearney, practicing architecture, until 1895. In 1896 he moved to Omaha and entered the construction business. By 1910 he was living in San Diego, working as a building contractor, residing with his mother Eliza and sister Florence.[[#References|[6]]]
