He studied architecture at the University of Illinois then pursued graduate studies at the Columbia University.  He served in WWI and was gassed on the battlefield.  This led to him being diagnosed with tuberculosis.  He moved to Denver in 1821 for health reasons.

After moving here he was instrumental in developing the largest architectural firm in the Denver metro area.  More than 300 builidngs were designed by him.  He was also instrumental in developing and building Cherry Creek Shopping Center.  The Paramount theater and Horace Mann middle school are also some of his creations.

Temple died in 1990 at the age of 94.  The Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation was named in his honor.  Among its pursuits is educating young architects and researching catastrophic illness.  The Temple Hoyne Buell theater in Denver is also named in his honor.
