Life and career

Edwin Quick was born in 1841 in Rhinebeck, New York, where he attended the Rhinebeck Academy. He studied architecture, and worked as a construction superintendent in New York in the 1860s and 1870s, working for Gilman & Kendall, J. William Schickel, and Renwick & Sands. He moved to Yonkers in April, 1874. He was practicing independently as an architect by 1882. Circa 1891 he made his son, H. Lansing Quick, a partner in the firm, which became Edwin A. Quick & Son. The two practiced together until 1913, upon the elder Quick's death.

Quick died on October 19, 1913, at his home in Yonkers.
