Born in New York State and educated in Alabama, Spratling moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he taught architecture as an associate professor at Tulane University. Considered the "Harvard of the South, " Tulane University had a well-known department of Mesoamerican studies, with Mayan archaeologist Franz Blom and anthropologist and writer Oliver LaFarge at the helm, with whom Spratling became good friends. Inspired by the travels of Blom and LaFarge, William Spratling became a lecturer on colonial architecture during the 1926 summer session of the National University of Mexico in Mexico City. After the conclusion of his classes, he would then tour many of the colonial towns throughout Mexico, sketch colonial architecture and write articles for various publications in the United States. This was the beginning of Spratling's love affair with Mexico.
