Amos Porter Cutting
Edit ProfileEducation
He studied architecture in the evenings, and established himself as an architect in 1868.
Career
He came to Worcester in 1863, where he worked for Russian & Eddy, a manufacture of millwork. By 1876 he and John East. Holman (d1879), who had been a draftsman with Boyden & Son, had established a firm together. This lasted until 1878, when Holman opened his own office.
Cutting worked alone again until 1890, when he partnered with Walter R. Forbush, who had recently moved to Worcester from Cincinnati.
That firm only lasted the year, and they were working separately by 1891. He was again alone until 1895, when he decided to take an extended vacation to California, for his decaying health.
This firm survived until at least the 1930s, even without the elder Cutting. He died February 6, 1896, while in Los Los Angeles
