for Charles Wellington Walker
1889 - 1967
Walker studied at the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. Following military service in World War I, he began the practice of architecture in 1918.
Walker largely confined his professional practice to Connecticut, but was especially active in that state and the communities with which he had personal ties. He was president of the Connecticut chapter of the American Association of Architects, 1944-45, and president of the Connecticut Society of Architects, 1950-51; he served a six-year term on the state's Commission of Sculpture, a gubernatorial appointment in 1943; and he was at one time a member of the Stratford Planning board and Library board. Among his more important structures are: the Municipal Building, and David Wooster Junior High School, both in Stratford, Connecticut; the Connecticut State Hospital, Middletown, Connnecticut; the Bridgeport, Connecticut post office; and a series of buildings for the University of Bridgeport, including the Engineering and Technology Building, Carlson Library, student center, and seven residence halls
