| Architect, born in Mineola, New York, USA. At the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in the early 1880s he met John Merven Carrére (1858–1911, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), with whom he later formed a highly successful New York partnership (1885–1915) that became identified with Beaux-Arts architecture in its public and corporate buildings, houses, and country estates. Their work included the New York Public Library (1902–11), Manhattan Bridge (1904–11), and the Henry Clay Frick House (1913–14). Among the many large office buildings dating from the end of his career is the Standard Oil Building (1926), New York City. |
