Story was born in Paris in 1854 to the sculptor William Wetmore Story,[1] son of early Supreme Court justice Joseph Story.[2]
While his parents lived in Rome, Waldo was educated in England at Eton College and at Christ Church, Oxford. Afterwards, he moved to Rome himself where he shared a studio with his father and, after the latter's death in 1895, took over his lease of an apartment in the Palazzo Barberini.[3]
In 1883 Waldo Story married Ada Maud Broadwood (1856-1932), the eldest child of Thomas Capel Broadwood and Mary Davidson Hennin.[4] In 1912, he was married for a second time to opera singer Bessie Pickens Abott.[5]
Waldo Story frequently stayed in England where he was friends with James Abbott McNeill Whistler.[6] He is best known for his Fountain of Love in the grounds of Cliveden, Buckinghamshire.[7]
He died at his home in New York City in 1915.[8]
