Edit ProfileCareer
In 1883 he began a professional career in Columbus, Ohio. During the several years he maintained an office in that city he served as architect of Orton Hall at the Ohio State University, Doane Academy in Granville, and other college buildings in the state. Later (1898-1900) Mr. Yost carried on work in association with Frank L. Packard (Yost & Packard) and when the partnership was terminated, moved to New York.
In that city he established a joint office with Albert D Oench, and on January 1, 1901, started practice under the firm name of D'Oench & Yost, an association that was maintained through the years until the death of his partner in 1918. Shortly after Mr. Yost closed his office at #8 West Thirty- third Street and retired to private life. Among his most important works in New York, designed under the name of D'Oench & Yost, Architects, should be mentioned the Guardian Life Insurance Building, the Tilden Building at #105 West 40th Street, and the addition of an upper floor for the Tribune Building, #154 Nassau Street, of which Richard Morris Hunt was the original architect. The firm also planned Library buildings at Utica, N. Y., and Sandusky, Ohio, and a number of large apartment houses in New York.
