Palliser, Palliser & Company was a Bridgeport, Connecticut and New York City architectural firm and publisher of architectural pattern books.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Digitized Book of the Week: Palliser's American cottage homes (1878) )〕 George Palliser, the firm's founder, was born around 1849 in Thirsk, Yorkshire, England. He emigrated to Newark, New Jersey in 1868. He worked as a carpenter and builder, later opening a millwork business.〔Wilkinson, Jeff. "Geo. Palliser". ''Old-House Journal'' Nov./Dec. 1990: 18.〕 In search of new territory, Palliser moved to Bridgeport in 1873, opening an architectural office. He would specialize in residential work. In 1877 he made his brother, Charles Palliser, a partner in the firm, which became Palliser, Palliser & Company. They remained in Bridgeport until 1882, when increasing business necessitated a move to New York. The Pallisers kept the Bridgeport office open as a branch through the 1880s, but would eventually close it in favor of the New York office. By the 1890s George Palliser was practicing alone, though the old firm-name of Palliser, Palliser & Company was often retained for publications. He died in 1903. The Pallisers published many books of architectural plans. The first was ''Model Homes for the People'' in 1876. Copies of the 23-page pattern book were sold for 25 cents a copy and "sent into every State and territory in the Union, and many to the provinces." Other publications included ''American Cottage Homes'' (1878), ''Palliser's Model Homes'' (1883), ''Palliser's New Cottage Homes'' (1887), ''American Architecture; Or, Every Man a Complete Builder'' (1888), ''Palliser's Court Houses, Village, Town and City Halls, Jails and Plans of Other Public Buildings'' (1889), ''Palliser's Useful Details'' (1890), and ''Low Cost Houses Adapted for Florida'' (1892), and ''Late Victorian Architecture'' (1896). Palliser designs were built nationwide. Upon choosing a design from one of the firm's many publications, the client would write to the main office and request full plans, as well as necessary alterations. The plans would then be sent. A number of buildings built from Palliser, Palliser & Company designs are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
