McKim, Mead & White McKim, Mead & White

McKim, Mead & White’s founding partners were Charles Follen McKim (1847–1909), William Rutherford Mead (1846–1928) and Stanford White (1853–1906).

The firm’s buildings in New York include the former Pennsylvania Station, the Brooklyn Museum, and the main campus of Columbia University. They also designed the Boston Public Library and the Rhode Island State House. Across the United States, the firm designed buildings in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin.

They formed a school of classically trained, technologically skilled designers who practiced well into the mid-twentieth century. According to Robert A. M. Stern, only Frank Lloyd Wright was more important to the identity and character of modern American architecture.
