Toll, Henry C.

Henry Caldwell Toll was born in Amherst, Mass. in 1920. He attended Deerfield Academy and graduated from Princeton in 1942. During WWII, Toll served as a fighter pilot in the Pacific theater with the 475th Fighter Group of the Fifth Air Force. After the war, he received his masters degree in Architecture from Princeton and then moved with his wife, Edith (Beyer) to Denver, Colo. For approximately 11 years, Toll worked in his own architectural office in Denver, Colo. either singly or in partnership with the architect, John Francis Milan. In 1966, Toll and his family moved to Albuquerque, N.M. where he worked as an architect for three different federal agencies, eventually retiring from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1982. Toll later published a book of illustrations chronicling his wartime service as a fighter pilot entitled: "Tropic lightning, 475th Fighter Group" (1987). He died in Albuquerque, N.M. in 2005.
