Gervase Wheeler (1815–1889) was a British architect, writer, and illustrator who designed homes in the United States.
Wheeler is best known for publishing influential architectural pattern books Rural Homes (1851) and Homes for the People in Suburb and Country (1855).[1][2][3][4] These books include house plans as illustrations, while the prose focuses on architectural best practices and Wheeler's personal opinions about American culture and aesthetics. He promoted Italianate style[5] as well as Carpenter Gothic.[6]
Wheeler moved to the U.S. in 1846 or 1847 and stayed until the 1860s, after which he returned to London.[1]
