Theatre Architects

Born: 1892 (Leominster, Massachusetts)

Died: 1983 (Fitchburg, Massachusetts)

After attending school in Leominster, Stephen Wesley Haynes moved to Boston to continue his education. He worked as a draftsman for Peabody & Stearns, Allen & Collens, and other firms. In 1918 Haynes returned to Leominster to open his own architectural firm, moving it to Fitchburg in 1920.

In 1921, Haynes and Harold E. Mason formed a partnership called Haynes & Mason. By 1932 Mason was working semi-independently from an office in Leominster, and in 1933 they split completely. Haynes then established the firm of S.W. Haynes & Associates, which remained active until 1962.

In the mid-to-late 1930s Haynes designed the Latchis Hotel and Theatre Building in Brattleboro, Vermont, one of his few Art Deco designs and one of purportedly only two Art Deco buildings in the state of Vermont.

Haynes died in 1983 however his firm remains active, albeit relocated to Ashby, MA.

Haynes designed buildings in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut, several of which have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
