Joseph Everett Chandler

Joseph Everett Chandler (December 11, 1863 – August 19, 1945) is considered a major proponent of the Colonial Revival architecture.

Joseph Everett Chandler was the son of a butcher. He grew up driving carriage-loads of tourists around Plymouth to see its sites.

Chandler attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) and was an apprentice of McKim, Mead & White, Charles Howard Walker, William Pretyman, Burnham and Root, and Rotch & Tilden.

He is considered a pioneering designer of queer space. He designed Red Roof for A. Piatt Andrew, which inspired interior designer Henry Davis Sleeper to build his own Beauport next door.

Chandler is mostly known to have overseen the restoration of the Paul Revere House and the House of Seven Gables. He worked with George Warren Cole.

With George Francis Dow, he conceived Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts) as a means to demonstrate life in 1630.

In 1892 he published The Colonial Architecture of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia and in 1916 The colonial house with R.M. McBride & company.
