Arthur Bates Jennings (1849–1927) was an American architect, working primarily out of New York City.[1][2] He married Caroline Jerusha Allen of West Meriden, Connecticut and had three children, Edward Allen, Arthur Bates, Jr., and Helen Bates.[1]
He earned an A.B. from College of the City of New York in 1870 and trained in architecture under George B. Post and Russell Sturgis.[1] He opened an office in Manhattan around 1876. His early career focused on residential designs, later expanding into public buildings, including churches and college buildings.[1] He is known for his multi-turreted churches.[1] His buildings were constructed across the United States, from Portland, ME to Seattle, WA.[1] He retired in 1919.
