Gervase Wheeler (1815–1889) was a British architect who designed homes in the United States. Wheeler moved to the U.S. in the 1846 or 1847 and stayed until the 1860s, when he returned to London.^[1] Wheeler's father, who was also named Gervase, worked as a manufacturer of gold, silver and gilt jewelry in Holborn, then just outside London.^[1]

In 1855 he boasted that "the desire to build, to have a home of one's own is implanted in the breast of every American, and I fancy statistics would show that the number of those who own homesteads in this country far exceeds England."^[2]
