In 1930, he lived with his family at 7620 Lincoln Drive in Philadelphia. According to the US Census of that year, the house had a value of $50,000, a significant sum for the period. The family of four also employed a staff of three servants.

Daniel moved to New Haven, CT, to attend Yale University from which he graduated with B.A. in 1936, and then back to Philadelphia to obtain a bachelor's degree in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated from Penn in 1939. During World War II, he served as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy (1941-1945). He worked in various architectural offices in Philadelphia, including that of his father, between 1937 and 1941 and 1945-1946.
