| − | '''James A. Wetmore''' was born in 1863, in Bath, New York. He completed his education in New York and briefly worked as a lawyer in Maryland before becoming Architectural Supervisor for the U. S. Treasury. In the forty-five years he served in this position, his office designed at least 2000 buildings. Wetmore retired in the 1930s. To speak of his personal life, his wife's name was Hattie, and he had two children. Hattie died sometime before 1930, and Wetmore died in 1940.[[#Reference|[1][2][3][4][5]]]
