In early life he was associated with his twin brother David in the contracting and building business in eastern Pennsylvania.

He was an architect and builder, having designed, among other buildings, the beautiful little colonial Presbyterian Church at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He is said to have executed the carving over the pulpit with his own hands. In connection with William Cameron, a brother of Simon Cameron, he built the first Cumberland Valley Bridge at Harrisburg. He was engaged in important enterprises until his death.
