Very often referred to as E.B. Green, Edward Broadhead Green was a major American architect from New York State.

After graduating from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Green worked as a junior architect with William Miller in Ithaca for three years while teaching at Cornell for one year. In 1880, along with William Sydney Wicks, an M.I.T. architecture graduate, he opened a practice in Auburn, New York, moving a year later to Buffalo, New York.

Green was active in Buffalo, New York through about 1930 where his work left a lasting impression on the city of Buffalo. His public buildings include the Buffalo Savings Bank, the Market Arcade, the Buffalo Crematory, and South Park High School, The First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo, Kibler High School, Tonawanda Municipal Building, and Dayton Art Institute (1930) among others.

He also designed and built many private residences, including the Charles W. Goodyear Residence, the Granger Mansion, and his own residence. During his 72-year career, Green designed more than 370 major structures. More than 160 of his Buffalo buildings survive today.

After the death of his partner Wicks in 1919, Green continued the practice with his son, Edward B. Green Jr., and then with R.M. James from 1936 to 1950.
