John H. & Wilson C. Ely

John H. & Wilson C. Ely was a father and son architectural firm based in Newark, New Jersey responsible for some of the more prominent buildings built in the city in the early 20th century, many in the Classical Revival style.

[4] Wilson died the next year,[5] and Campbell continued the firm alone until his retirement circa 1971.

[1][3] Ely was active in Democratic Party politics and served on the Newark City Council during the 1890s.

[1][3] Wilson Cowell Ely FAIA (May 29, 1873 – August 28, 1959), his son, was born in Trenton.

He then worked as a draftsman for architects in Newark and New York City before becoming his father's partner.
