Educated at Harvard University and M.I.T., he was an architect by profession with a successful practice in Boston, but his true passions were social reform and the arts. Joseph was a member of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts, and painted and exhibited work alongside his wife on several occasions. He was also a talented amateur photographer, exhibited numerous photographs, was a member of the Photographer's Club of New England, and served as president of the Boston Camera Club.

He went on to serve (starting in 1914) as President of the Boston Branch of N.A.A.C.P. and a member of the N.A.A.C.P.'s national committee Board of Directors. He was still serving as president of the Boston branch in the mid-1920s.
He helped to financially support the "Home for Aged Colored Women" in Boston, and served on the Home's board of directors. He also was a financial supporter of the "Calhoun Colored School" in Alabama. He was also a life member of the "Association for the Study of Negro Life and History.
He was a member of the National Housing Association, an organization formed in 1918 to confront the severe housing shortage that occurred after WWI.
He was a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) from 1902 until his death in 1942.
In later years he became an avid yachtsman, and owned a yacht named the Halaia II.
