You don't need to know everything, but can you improve the description? Maybe add some more details?

Raised in Maryland and Pennsylvania, Markley was trained as an architect at the University of Pennsylvania. He had offices in Harrisburg, PA, and Richmond, VA, before coming to North Carolina - first to Chapel Hill and then Durham. His commissions included a number of residential and institutional structures throughout the city and across the state from the late 1920s until his death in 1959.
