The Buildings and Projects of
Lamb & Rich, Architects,
and Related Firms, 1877-1935
Hugh Lamb and Charles Alonzo Rich maintained an architectural partnership in New York City from 1881 to 1899, designing dozens of Shingle-Style mansions in the suburbs, Classical institutional buildings in cities, eclectic rowhouses, and Gothic churches, from Maine to New Jersey.
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 [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.
