Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker were a prestigious New York architectural firm. The firm had an illustrious heritage, the parent company being founded in New York City by Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz in 1885. In 1900 he added partner Andrew C. McKenzie and when Eidlitz left the firm in 1910 he was replaced by Stephen Francis Voorhees (1878-1965) and Paul Gmelin. Following McKenzie's death in 1926 Ralph Walker, who had been employed for several years with the company, was added as a partner and the name was changed to Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker. In 1938, reflecting new changes in the partnership, the name was changed to Voorhees, Walker, Foley and Smith, and in 1955 to Voorhes, Walker, Smith and Smith.〔Walker, Ralph ''Ralph Walker: Architect, of Voorhees Gmelin & Walker, Voorhees Walker Foley & Smith, Voorhees Walker Smith & Smith '', Henanan House, New York, 1957 p. 14〕 Mr. Voorhees held a senior partner position until January 1959, when he became a consultant. The firm is well known for its art deco designed buildings. ==Notable commissions== * Justice Court Building, Glen Cove, New York :All in New York City unless otherwise noted * Barclay-Vesey Building, 1920–1926 * 340 W 55th Street, originally the National Bible Institute School and Dormitory, 1922-1924〔''Stone'', Stone Publishing Company, Volume 43, 1922, (p. 91. )〕 * New Jersey Bell Headquarters Building, Newark, New Jersey, 1929 * Times Square Building, Rochester, New York, 1929 * 60 Hudson Street, 1930 * 1 Wall Street (Irving Trust Company Building) 1932 * 32 Avenue of the Americas, 1932 * Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company Building, Washington, D.C. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
