Vertner Woodson Tandy was born in Lexington, Kentucky where he was educated at the Candler School. He gained an understanding of construction by watching his father build and develop homes in Lexington. These early experiences with his father led Tandy to an interest in architecture. - Upon graduation, Vertner W. Tandy became the first African American registered architect in the State of New York. His office was on Broadway in New York City. Among the buildings designed by the highly gifted architect are Saint Phillips Episcopal Church in New York City and Villa Lewaro, the mansion of Harlem businesswoman Madam C.J. Walker, in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York.
