Wilkinson returned to Syracuse in 1900 and began working for Stickley, who used his love of Gothic Revival as part of the design that became known as Mission style. During his work there the Eastwood Chair and the Poppy Table were conceived, a mix of 'dramatically massive, straight-lined furniture and delicate carved Arts and Crafts furniture'.
Wilkinson was designing furniture for the homes of the future, and publishing architectural plans in Stickley's magazine, The Craftsman. He believed the house and furniture were to compliment each other. Wilkinson left in 1902 to move to New York City to devote himself fulltime to architecture. Among the structures he designed were the New York Telephone Building, the Women's Hospital and Harperley Hall in New York as well as a number of homes in Llewellyn Park New Jersey where he lived.
