Herbert Winthrop Waldron Faulkner was born January 21, 1898, in Paris to American parents. He was educated at Yale University, graduating with a BFA in architecture in 1924. He worked for New York City architects Richard Henry Dana IV, York & Sawyer, James Gamble Rogers and Leigh French Jr. before opening his own office in 1927.[1] In 1934 he moved to Washington.[2] In 1935 he hired Slocum Kingsbury , a coworker from York & Sawyer, and in 1939 they formed a partnership, Faulkner & Kingsbury. In 1946 the partnership was expanded to include another employee, John W. Stenhouse, as Faulkner, Kingsbury & Stenhouse. They practiced together until Kingsbury's retirement in 1964, and in 1966 the partnership was reorganized to include Frederick L. Fryer and Faulkner's son, Avery C. Faulkner, as Faulkner, Stenhouse, Fryer & Faulkner. Faulkner retired from active practice in 1968.[3] The firm, afterwards led by the younger Faulkner, was renamed Faulkner, Fryer & Vanderpool and was ultimately acquired by Cannon Design of Grand Island, New York, now CannonDesign, in 1982.
Faulkner joined the American Institute of Architects in 1929, and was elected a Fellow in 1951. Faulkner was president of the Washington chapter for the year 1942–43 and was chair of the national library committee from 1954 to 1963. Faulkner was an authority on the use of color in architecture, and in 1949 he was appointed AIA delegate to the Inter-Society Color Council, of which he was president from 1956 to 1958.[3] He was the author of Architecture and Color, published by John Wiley & Sons in 1972.[2]
