William Ward (1827–1893) was an architect artist and builder. Born in England he converted to Mormonism and emigrated to Utah in 1850. While there he carved Utah’s block of limestone for the Washington Monument. In 1856 he moved to St. Louis Missouri and continued to live in the Midwest until returning to Utah in 1888. He died of lung fever in 1893 shortly after his wife succumbed to pneumonia.A couple of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
