Born: 3/3/1847, Died: 1926 Biography from the American Architects and Buildings database
Born in Baltimore, MD, J. B. Noel Wyatt graduated from Harvard University in 1870 and continued his architectural education at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he was part of the Atelier Vaudremer, the training ground for Philadelphia architect T. P. Chandler and Chicago architect Louis Sullivan. Returning to Baltimore in 1874, he first worked for the prominent office headed by E. F. Baldwin; but by 1877, after a year of independent practice, he and another member of the Baldwin office Joseph Sperry established Wyatt & Sperry (1877-1887). Soon after parting ways with Sperry, Wyatt launched Wyatt & Nolting in 1887, and this firm would continue on after his death.
Wyatt's social prominence and visibility in professional organizations certainly helped his partnerships gain commissions, and Wyatt maintained a wide variety of connections with the Baltimore community. He joined the AIA in 1875, served as Treasurer of the Baltimore Chapter in 1876, and was elevated to Fellow in 1889. He was an early member of both the Baltimore Architectural Club and of the University Club. He provided an endowment to bring William R. Ware, Henry Van Brunt and Howard Walker to Johns Hopkins University to lecture in 1895. As Baltimore correspondent for the American Architect and Building News he not only provided coverage for Baltimore architecture in a nationally subscribed journal, but he found access to publishing his own writings in other journals such as Art and Architecture.
