In the early seventies he went back to England, and during an extended stay began architectural study at the Kensington Art School in London.
Upon his return to this country Mr. Winterburn started practice for himself in New York in 1873 and carried on work alone until 1889, when he entered the office of Clinton & Russell at 33 Nassau Street. In association with that well known and successful firm he continued in practice until 1910, the year in which he retired to private life.
Of the many large and important structures in New York planned by Clinton & Russell during Mr. Winterbum’s connection with the firm, mention should be made of the Mutual Life Insurance Building; the Hudson Terminals (1898-1908); the Apthorp Apartments; Hotel Astor; Atlantic Mutual Insurance Building, 40 Wall Street; American Exchange Building, 60 Wall Street; Broad Street Exchange Building; the Cheeseborough Building; 71st Regiment Armory; U. S. Express Company Building, and many others.
During his professional career he was a member of the Architectural League of New ork, became a member emeritus after twenty-five years, and at the time of his decease was one of the oldest members of the League.
