William T. Towner (1869–1950) was an American architect based in St. Paul, Minnesota.[1]

"Architect William T. Towner of St. Paul was thirty years old when he designed the St. Croix County Courthouse in 1900. A native of Sussex, England, Towner was educated in London, and immigrated to America in 1881.... Before opening a St. Paul office in 1898, Towner worked in Montana and for the Land and Improvement Company in West Superior."[2]

A few of his works have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]

In 1901 and/or 1902, W.T. Towner of 157 Summer St., Boston, Massachusetts, designed a school for Rumford Falls, Maine and High Bridge, New Jersey, and an Industrial School for Colored Children in the Town of Union.[5]

In 1910, William T. Towner, then of 320 Fifth Avenue in New York City, had designed a high school for Schenevus, New York.[6]

In 1917 William T. Towner was an architect in New York City, and was designing a two-story brick municipal building for the village of Canastota, New York.[7]
