Henry Wolters[1] (1845[2][3] – August 29, 1921) was an architect[4][5] in the United States.[6]

Wolters was born in Hanover, Germany and educated at the Technische Hochschule in Charlottenburg (now Technische Universität Berlin)[7] and the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris.[8]

In 1882, Wolters was selected as an architect for a new cotton compress company located in New Orleans.[9]

In 1899, Wolters received severe injuries at Callahan & Sons grain elevator, resulting in his wrist being sprained and his knee-cap being fractured.[10]

His office was one of the firms where Cincinnati architect Samuel S. Godley learned his trade.[11]
