Life and career
Joseph Julian Patterson was born May 3, 1894, in Danville, Illinois. He was educated at the University of Illinois, graduating with a BS in architecture in 1917. After graduation he pursued graduate studies at the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College in Stillwater, Oklahoma. From 1919 to 1925 he was an instructor, later associate professor, in architecture at the college while also practicing in Stillwater with another professor under the name Redlich & Patterson. In 1925 he joined the office of Wyatt C. Hedrick in Fort Worth, and in 1932 entered practice in Fort Worth under the name Patterson & Teague. He joined Edward L. Wilson in the partnership of Wilson & Patterson in 1939.[1] Wilson was a Chicago native and Armour Institute graduate who joined the Hedrick office the same year that Patterson had. In 1952 the partners made three employees associates, and the firm was renamed Wilson, Patterson & Associates.[2] In 1958 the three were made full partners and the firm was renamed a second time to Wilson, Patterson, Sowden, Dunlap & Epperly.[3] Wilson died in 1964, and in February 1968 the firm was renamed a third time to Patterson, Sowden, Dunlap & Epperly.[4] Patterson retired from practice in 1973.[5]
Patterson joined the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1945. He was active in the Texas Society of Architects (TSA) and in the Fort Worth chapter. He served as a director of the TSA and as chapter president for 1952.[1][6] He was elected a Fellow in 1962 in recognition of his design skills and his public service.[7] Patterson served as a consultant to John Ripley Forbes' National Foundation for Junior Museums from 1954 to 1964, as a member of the diocesan committee on architecture of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas from 1955 to 1960 and as a member of the planning committee of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce from 1962 to 1965.[8]
Patterson's partner, Wilson, was elected a Fellow in 1957 in recognition of his service to the AIA. He was the first AIA Fellow from Fort Worth.[9]
