description: "William Henry Goodyear (1846–1923) was an American architectural historian, art historian, and museum curator. He was the son of Charles Goodyear (1800–1860), inventor of rubber vulcanization, and Clarissa Beecher Goodyear. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, spent much of his childhood in England and France, and graduated from Yale University in 1867 with a degree in history. He relocated to Italy, then Berlin, and subsequently Heidelberg, where he studied art history under archaeologist Karl Friedrichs (1831-1871). In 1869 Goodyear traveled with Friedrichs to Syria and Cyprus, then spent 1870 in Venice and Pisa, where he studied the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In 1871 he married Sarah Sanford, his first of three wives."
