Life

Wilcox was born in 1845 in Georgia, to a family that relocated to Providence in his infancy.[2] He trained with local architect Charles P. Hartshorn, becoming his partner in 1873. Their firm, Hartshorn & Wilcox, lasted until the end of 1879, briefly before Hartshorn's death in 1880.[3] Wilcox continued practicing alone until 1895, when he made draftsman Gideon Gardner Congdon partner in Wilcox & Congdon. This firm was dissolved in 1899 and Wilcox again continued alone.[4] He died in Providence in 1905.
