Richard Henry Dana was born in Cambridge, MA in 1879. Dana, the grandson of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was a graduate of Harvard (1901) and Columbia University (1904). He also studied for two years at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. On his return to New York in 1906 he found employment in the offices of the architectural firm of Delano & Aldrich as a draughtsman, and in 1908 was employed by the architect Wellles Bosworth.
