Joseph Evans Sperry

Joseph Evans Sperry (1854–1930) was an American architect who is notable for designing buildings in Baltimore. He was born in Georgetown, South Carolina, and later relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, where he partnered with James Bosley Noel Wyatt to form the architectural firm Wyatt and Sperry. Their affiliation lasted from 1878 to 1887. The two probably became acquainted while working in the office of Architect, E. Francis Baldwin, where he worked from 1872 until 1876. With Wyatt, he designed a number of buildings around Baltimore. In 1888 he joined an architectural firm owned by Charles L. Carson, becoming Carson's partner and successor after the latter's death in 1891.

As an independent practitioner, Sperry became one of Baltimore's leading architects, designing many public buildings, including churches, hospitals, and banks. In 1914 he was named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. 1917: Whitehall, Narragansett, Rhode Island 1930: Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association Building, Baltimore, Maryland
