Edward F. Warren advertised as an architect in Lincoln in 1906 and 1907, the latter year with the firm Warren & Ort. He was born in Rochester, New York in 1864 to William and Annie Warren. His father was a carpenter. At age 15 Edward was apprenticed to a carpenter in Peoria, Illinois.[6] He may have worked for a Minneapolis firm of engineers and contractors in the 1890s[13][g], before he began practicing as an architect in Virginia, Minnesota between 1900 and 1901, then in Albert Lea, Minnesota in 1903.[10][11][a] Warren married Effigene Martin in 1906.[7][c] His tenure in Lincoln was also brief, as he arrived in 1906 and was listed in the 1907 city directory, but he was described as a Kansas City architect by 1907.[9][e] He was also listed as an architect in the Kansas City directories of 1907 and 1908. Subsequent Kansas City directories listed him as a cigar dealer, as did the 1910 U. S. Census.[8][d] E. F. Warren died in Kansas City, Missouri in 1914.[3][4][5]
