Hoxie was trained to the buildings trade in
Connecticut and was working in
Hoboken, New Jersey, by 1840. He moved to Philadelphia and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law
Stephen Decatur Button in 1848. The partnership was dissolved in 1852 though they occasionally collaborated on some projects afterwards. In November 1852
Norris Garshom Starkweather started working for Hoxie and they became partners in 1854. The partnership broke down and it was dissolved in July 1854. The
Court of common pleas records a case filed in August 1854 to divide the assets of the partnership though this case was not resolved in 1858. After returning to independent practice he designed
railroad stations and
churches. Harrisburg station (built 1857, demolished 1877) and
Arch Street Presbyterian Church are examples of his work. ==References==
