Charles Wheelock (born December 12, 1833 in Charlestown, Massachusetts; died September 24, 1910 in Almeda, California) was a noted early architect in Birmingham. The partnership he formed with his son Harry employed many designers, such as S. Scott Joy and Hugh Martin, who contributed greatly to the city.
Wheelock served as Captain to the 9th New York Volunteers during the Civil War. He moved to Texas in the early 1870s and partnered with Jacob Larmour on several important commissions there. By the end of the decade he had relocated to Las Vegas, New Mexico where he established an office in the Jesuite Building.
By 1883 Wheelock had come to Birmingham.
