Life
Kimball was born in Lovell in 1852, and was the son of a dentist. His family moved to Portland when he was very young. Kimball graduated from Portland High School in 1869. By 1871 he was working for George M. Harding, a local architect. In 1874 he left Portland for Lewiston and established a practice with George M. Coombs, a native of that city. Kimball & Coombs dissolved later that year, and Kimball had opened his own office in Portland by 1875. He practiced alone until 1887, his death. He never married.
He is notable as one of the only Maine architects to embrace the Stick Style. His buildings in this mode include the original Deering High School, the Church of the New Jerusalem in Fryeburg, and the former Kezar Falls M. E. Church.
