After a spell in private practice Maule was made Headmaster of the London Architectural Association School of Architecture, a position he held from 1903 to 1913.^[1] During World War I, Maule became a Major in the Honourable Artillery Company,^[8] was a recipient of the Military Cross and made a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order.^[9]

After the war, Maule was made Chief Architect to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries but returned to private practice in 1923.^[1] He was architect to the trustees of the Douglas Haig Memorial Homes for Ex-Soldiers.^[1] For much of his architectural career Maule was based in London operating in partnership with William Adam Forsyth as Forsyth & Maule.^[10]

Mould's work included large additions and alterations to Kinnaird House in Perthshire^[11] and the Royal Veterinary College in London which was opened by King George VI in 1937.^[12]

In 1902, he married Edith Poole, eldest daughter of Canon R.B. Poole DD,^[1] the headmaster of his old school.^[13] He died in Hertfordshire on 15 May 1940, ages 67, and was survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter.^[1][14]

Two days after his obituary, a tribute to Major Maule was published in The Times on 18 May 1940: 'In everything he did he was actuated by the highest principles; and by his fine ideals, energy and keenness he inspired others. He was a true leader of men'.^[6]
