Life and career

Daniels was born in 1828 in Leon, New York. In 1852 he went to Minnesota, settling in St. Paul. He went to St. Anthony in 1855 and Faribault in 1862, where he established himself as a contractor in the firm of Rice & Daniels. By 1868, he was also practicing as an architect. [2] He would have likely dropped the contracting work soon afterward. He moved to Fargo, North Dakota in 1879, becoming one of the Dakota Territory's first architects. [1] In 1882 he partnered with John G. Proctor, formerly of Ontario. [3] In 1884 Daniels & Proctor moved their offices to Tacoma, Washington, and dissolved their partnership in 1887. [4] In 1888 he established the new firm of Daniels & Cook with Samuel A. Cook. He later became an insurance agent. [5] Daniels died in Tacoma in 1892.

Grace Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church building located at 405 2nd Avenue, North East, in Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota. Designed in the Late Gothic Revival style of architecture by British-born Fargo architect George Hancock, it was built 1884 of local fieldstone exterior walls and a wooden roof. Early parish records contain several assertions that George Hancock modeled the church after Christ Episcopal Church which had been opened in 1881, but if he did, it was only in a very general, not specific way. Hancock's later work St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is much more closely related to Christ Church, Medway. On December 3, 1992, Grace Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
