The Buildings and Projects of
Lamb & Rich, Architects,
and Related Firms, 1876-1935
Hugh Lamb and Charles Alonzo Rich maintained an architectural partnership in New York City from 1880 to 1899, designing dozens of suburban Shingle-Style mansions, Classical urban institutions, eclectic rowhouses, and Gothic churches from Maine to Virginia.
Several of the firm's buildings now are listed on the National Register, including their best-known design, Theodore Roosevelt's Long Island country house, "Sagamore Hill." Rich also designed what seems to be the nation's first graduate school of business (Tuck School, Hanover, N.H., 1902-1904).
The ongoing catalog [1.5mb pdf] of the firm's works posted here also covers the designs of the firms that preceeded and succeeded Lamb & Rich. New information is added frequently as it becomes available, much of it emailed generously by readers.
