About Warren C. Dickerson

Born 1853. Warren C. Dickerson was an American architect.

Warren C. Dickerson (1853 – unknown) was an American architect who worked in the Bronx in the early 20th century.

Warren Dickerson was born in 1853 on Long Island, New York; he attended Cooper Union and had private tutors. He entered into private practice on November 15, 1893, when he opened an office in New York City. He subsequently opened practices in San Diego and San Francisco but moved back to New York in 1893. He has been described as "among the more prominent architects of the city"; by 1898 his practice took in $2,500,000 . His work was mostly in high-end houses and apartments, with it being said that "Probably no architect in New York has a larger practice in these lines of buildings than Mr. Dickerson."

Dickerson is known for having designed many of the houses in several historic districts in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. The Longwood Historic District (on the National Register of Historic Places) includes a row of his paired Neo-Renaissance and Romanesque Revival townhouses on Beck Street. Significant features include "bay windows, arched windows, peaked roofs and ornamental iron gates" The Clay Avenue Historic District includes twenty-eight semi-detached houses which, like those in Longwood, featured Neo-Renaissance and Romanesque Revival features.

Dickerson's firm also spawned other noted architects. Frank L. Landsiedel, Dickerson's head draftsman, formed a partnership with Fred W. Moore in 1900. Moore & Landsiedel had offices in both Manhattan and the Bronx, and was known for three apartment buildings in what is now the Morningside Heights Historic District in Manhattan.
