Conflicting information on the 1890 Charles H. Stickney residence in Pueblo, Colorado credits the design 1) to a collaboration between William Halsey and F. A. Hale, architects, and 2) to William Halsey Ward. The latter is closer to the truth, since the Pueblo house is a virtual duplicate of an earlier project by William Halsey Wood—his 1886 design for the C. S. French cottage at East Orange, NJ, now demolished. Wood's name may have been incorrectly transcribed as "Ward" in local news coverage of the Stickney house. The most significant difference between the two houses is the substitution of random red-sandstone ashlar for the clinker brick of the earlier project. Since Wood maintained his office in Newark, NJ, construction supervision of a work so distant may have been contracted to F. A. Hale, a Pueblo practitioner. Only a handful of Wood's residential work has been identified and only a few of those remain; the majority of the architect's oeuvre consists of nearly forty designs for churches and chapels.
Wood died at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 17 March 1897 at the age of 41.
