Willard Thomas Sears (Nov. 5, 1837-May 21, 1920) was an important New England architect of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In 1861, Sears opened an architectural studio with Charles Amos Cummings. Together as Cummings and Sears, they designed many important buildings in and around Boston, including Brechin Hall and the Stone Chapel at Phillips Academy in Andover, the Old South Church on Copley Square (1875), and the Cyclorama (1884).
In 1896, Sears was hired by Isabella Stewart Gardner to design her museum[1]. In 1897, he designed the Roosevelt Cottage for Mrs. Hartman Kuhn at Roosevelt Campobello International Park in New Brunswick, Canada.[2]. In 1898, Sears was hired to design the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
