Addison Hutton was born on November 28, 1834.
He grew up in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh.
He was the son of Joel Hutton, a Quaker carpenter, and Ann Mains.
At an early age, he became fond of the "solid necessities of building" and enjoyed working alongside his father.
Like his father, Addison would vary between carpenting and school.
A young man named Robert Grimacy gave him lessons in architecture; it was then that Addison Hutton considered it to be a possible direction in his own life.
