Lois Lilly Howe establishes an architectural firm.

It is located at 73 Tremont Street. The first woman’s architecture firm in Boston and one of the first in the U.S., it becomes Lois Lilley Howe & Manning after it is joined by Eleanor Manning in 1913 and Mary Almy in 1926. When Howe retires, the firm is dissolved and the other partners establish their own practices in 1937.
