He was the son of Rudolph Hering, a civil engineer, and Fanny Field Hering, a librarian and teacher who authored a book on the French artist Jean-L\u00E9on G\u00E9r\u00F4me. Oswald Hering attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1893-1897) and studied art and architecture further at the Atelier Ginain and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris (1897-1899). In 1901, he opened his own architectural practice in New York City, which he ran, for a period, in partnership with Douglass Fitch. Hering specialized in country and suburban homes and pioneered the residential use of reinforced concrete. He designed a number of residences for Garden City and Jamaica Estates, Long Island, New York, as well as \"Trailsend\", the home of James M. Cox, the 1920 Democratic presidential nominee. His nonresidential projects included the old Brentano's bookstore in New York City and the Lakewood Theater, Skowhegan, Maine. RAREA1924ABEA - 04\/19 FORN-TUB-0086-BB-2507-HKREV1114.
