Life and career

Daniels was born in 1828 in Leon, New York. In 1852 he went to Minnesota, settling in St. Paul. He went to St. Anthony in 1855 and Faribault in 1862, where he established himself as a contractor in the firm of Rice & Daniels. By 1868, he was also practicing as an architect.[2] He would have likely dropped the contracting work soon afterward. He moved to Fargo, North Dakota in 1879, becoming one of the Dakota Territory's first architects.[1] In 1882 he partnered with John G. Proctor, formerly of Ontario.[3] In 1884 Daniels & Proctor moved their offices to Tacoma, Washington, and dissolved their partnership in 1887.[4] In 1888 he established the new firm of Daniels & Cook with Samuel A. Cook. He later became an insurance agent.[5] Daniels died in Tacoma in 1892.

Legacy

Several of his works have been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
