He worked with Roland Harrison (born in 1889, age 95 in 1983) in partnership Wetherell & Harrison. The firm designed numerous Masonic buildings.[1]

He worked also with Oliver O. Smith, and with the addition of Alvah J. Gage the firm became Smith, Wetherell & Gage.[3](p16) The firm continued later as Smith & Gage.

Wetherell was prominent statewide as an architect known for public buildings, residences, and urban planning. At least 44 extant properties in Oskaloosa, Iowa are attributed to him.[3]

He was a parishioner of St. James Episcopal Church (Oskaloosa, Iowa), which he designed in Gothic Revival architecture.
