Biographical History

Walter H. Wheeler was born in Potsdam, NY, and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1906 with a degree in mining engineering. He soon shifted his interest to structural engineering. Most of Wheeler's career was spent working alone, but in 1968 he formed the firm of Wheeler & Tillitt, and retired the same year. From 1923 to 1927, Wheeler was the consulting engineer for Hennepin County, with primary responsibility for the design and supervision of the Mendota Bridge construction. He also held a patent for the invention of the "smooth ceilings" system, which used reinforced concrete.
