Biography

He was born in New York City, and spent ten years (1885-1894) at the École des Beaux Arts. There he studied under Honoré Daumet and Charles Girault, and met fellow architecture student Emmanuel Louis Masqueray, who would, in 1897, join the Warren and Wetmore firm. He began practice in New York City in 1887 as an architect.

During and following World War I, Warren supported actively the claims of Italy in the Adriatic. He was an intimate friend of Gabriele d'Annunzio, and was appointed diplomatic representative in the United States of the “Free State of Fiume.” He was the author of Les Justes Revendications de l'Italie: la Question de Trente, de Trieste et de l'Adriatique. Many of his addresses, delivered 1914-1919, were published and widely distributed.

Whitney Warren retired in 1931 but occasionally served as consultant. Warren took particular pride in his design of the reconstructed library at the Catholic University of Leuven, finished in 1928, which carried the controversial inscription Furore Teutonico Diruta: Dono Americano Restituta ("Destroyed by German fury, restored by American generosity") on the facade. The library was largely destroyed by German forces again in 1940.

Family

His brother Lloyd Warren was also an architect. He was a cousin of the Vanderbilts.
