Ward Wellington Ward (1875-1932) is an American architect who works mostly in Syracuse, New York. He designed more than 250 buildings, of which more than 120 were built and survived. He is influenced by, and contributes to, the Arts and Crafts movement in architecture. Ward's work comes in a variety of styles, but homes typically include details such as crafts such as decorative pieces on shutters. The design almost always includes garages, gates, and other small structures such as a gazebo.

Ward was born in Chicago. His decision to live and work in Syracuse was influenced by the presence of Gustav Stickley in Syracuse, who promoted "Craftsman" -style architecture, furniture, and other decorative art in his magazine, The Craftsman. Gustav Stickley's own home in Syracuse is considered the home of Arts and Crafts first. Ward's wife's family is also in the Syracuse area.
Ward worked with Horatio Nelson White in Syracuse for a short time.
Ward's house in Syracuse was concentrated in some of the upscale neighborhoods at the time of their development: Strathmore, Scottholm, Berkeley Park, and Sedgwick Farms.
He designed other buildings in Syracuse, too, and outside Syracuse he designed buildings including Mohegan Manor in Baldwinsville, New York, originally built for the Strange Order of Odd Fellows and now used as a restaurant, and Charles Estabrook Mansion.

Craftsman
His work is part of the international movement, which uses quality materials and is "considered to be both art and craft workmanship." Ward found two skilled craftsmen early in his career; Henry Keck, who designed stained glass windows, and Henry Mercer, who made Moravia handmade tiles in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Ward uses tiles to decorate the face of a firewood fireplace.
Personal life
She is married to Maude Moyer who is the daughter of a local carriage company and car manufacturer, Harvey A. Moyer and Rosamond Wilcox. He grew up in Liverpool, New York. The two met when he was a student at the Boston Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Ward renovated a farmhouse for his father-in-law, Harvey A. Moyer at Old Liverpool Road named Moyerdale and designed a factory complex for the remaining Moyer company on Wolf Street. In 1916, Ward designed and built his own house across the street from Moyerdale, on a 5-hectare (20,000 m 2 ) plot overlooking Lake Onondaga and named it >> LeMoyne Manor .
The couple had a daughter, Peggy Ward Forgan, who moved to Enumclaw, Washington after marrying Peter Paul Forgan.
