Cutler and Mary E. (Goold) Cutler.[2] On September 27, 1871, he married Anna Catherine Abbey, and in 1872 he and his brother J. W. Cutler moved with their families to the Rochester, New York area.[3] Here he was a practicing architect from 1872 to 1884 in partnership with Andrew Jackson Warner (1833–1910) from 1875 to 1877.[4] He was a republican presidential elector for New York State in 1896 and was the mayor of Rochester, N.Y. from 1904 to 1907. He was the inventor of the Cutler mail chute, a mail delivery system for tall buildings, and was associated with his brother, J. W.

He died on April 21, 1927 in Rochester and was eulogized by his many friends including former U.S. president William Howard Taft, former governor of New York Charles Evans Hughes and former presidential candidate John W.
