Early life and education


Ginther was born in Akron, Ohio, on March 21, 1858. His parents were Stephen and Anna M. (née Horning) Ginther. His father was a merchant tailor to the elite of the city. William attended Akron public schools (including the Jennings School)[2] and was enrolled at Buchtel College for a short time.


Ginther died at his home, 837 Chestnut Boulevard in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on January 15, 1933.[2]



Architectural career


Reportedly, he drew a comic valentine for a girl, which was seen by Frank Weary, then Akron's leading architect, who then hired Ginther into his office.[3]
Ginther worked at his first architectural position in Weary's office from 1879 through 1886. He made a tour of Europe in 1889, including the cities of Rome, Milan, Paris, Venice, Florence, London, Berlin, Vienna and many other noted centers of art. Upon his return to Akron he established his own company and, in a period extending over 40 years, he served the needs of many Roman Catholic clients throughout the Midwest.



Legacy


Ginther was named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Many of his buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. One of his churches, Holy Family in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been raised to the status of a cathedral.
