Life and career[edit]
Theodore Barnard Peck was born January 14, 1856 in Bristol, Connecticut to Josiah Tracy Peck and Ellen Lewis (Barnard) Peck. He was educated in the public schools of Bristol and Hartford before entering Cornell University, from which he graduated with a BArch in 1877. He spent the next few years working as a drafter for architects in New York City and Bridgeport before briefly opening an office of his own in Bristol. This was soon discontinued and in 1881 he joined Waterbury architect Robert W. Hill. In 1883 he left Hill and opened his own office in Waterbury.[1] Peck practiced architecture in Waterbury for forty years, working into the 1920s.
