On h i s r e t u r n i n 1870, McKim joined the f i rm of Gambrill & Richardson. During h i s year i n H.H.

- W i l l i a m Rutherford Mead (1846-1928) was educated a t Amherst College

and s tudied i n Europe. Like McKim, he apprent iced i n S tu rg i s ' o f f i c e . Mead was l a r g e l y involved wi th the management of t he f i rm, leav ing de- s i g n t o McKim and White and, a f t e r McKimrs r e t i r emen t , t o a number of t a l en t ed young a r c h i t e c t s who became p a r t n e r s i n t he f i rm.

The remarkable success and inf luence of t h i s f i rm i n t h e r e in t ro - duc t ion of c l a s s i c a l s t y l e s and design t o America have been noted by both c r i t i c s and admirers. The a r c h i t e c t u r a l h i s t o r i a n , Leland Roth, wrote i n t h e 1973 r e p r i n t of t he Monograph of t h e Work of McKim, Mead & White :

The confluence of t h e con t r a s t ing p e r s o n a l i t i e s , t a l e n t s , and a e s t h e t i c s e n s i b i l i t i e s of Charles McKim and Stanford White achieved a q u a l i t y of de- s ign and func t iona l planning which charac te r ized t h e f i rm ' s work i n s e v e r a l s t y l e s .

The inf luence on a r c h i t e c t u r a l s t y l e s i n New York was dramatic, and was continued by l a t e r works of t h e firm. The V i l l a r d Houses, designated New York Ci ty Landmarks, w e r e designed i n the manner of a 16th-century I t a l i a n Renaissance palazzo.

H i s de s igns r e f l e c t t h e major s t y l e s cu r r en t durfng those years--the High Vic tor ian Gothic of the 1870s, the Romanesque Revival i n t h e 1 8 8 0 ~ ~ and the f r e e ClassTc o r neo-Renaissance s t y l e evolved f o r e a r l y skyscrapers during the next two decades-but even during h i s l i f e t i m e t h e freedom and i n d i v i d u a l i t y of his s t y l i s t i c approach was recognized and admired. Robert- son was b r i e f l y assoc ia ted wi th William A. P o t t e r towards the beginning of h f s ca ree r (in t h e f i rm of P o t t e r & Robertson, no t t o be confused with. the f i rm of Robertson & P o t t e r ) , with W i l l i a m ' s nephew Robert Burnside P o t t e r a t t h e t u r n of the century (Robertson & P o t t e r ) , and wi th h i s own son, T. Markoe Robertson, from 1908 u n t i l R,H. Robertson's death, bu t f o r the g r e a t e r p a r t he worked alone. .

Robertson, born i n Phi lade lphia , s tud ied a t Rutgers College, graduat ing i n 1869. H i s f i r s t employment came i n t h e Phi lade lphia o f f i c e of Henry Sims, a designer of country e s t a t e s and Gothic churches. Fur ther t r a i n i n g came i n the New York o f f i c e of George B. Post (see), a l though exac t ly when is unclear . I n 1811 Robertson opened h i s own New York o f f i c e , and published s e v e r a l designs f o r s eas ide co t t ages and country churches, and a competi t ive design f o r New York Hospi ta l , The P h i l l i p s Preshyter ian Church, on Madison Avenue, was b u i l t t o h i s design i n 1871. By 1873, Robertson was working i n t he o f f i c e of Edward T. P o t t e r , where he m e t W i l l i a m A.

Among these were s e v e r a l co l l ege bui ld ings and a h o t e l a t Pr ince ton Universi ty , , and s e v e r a l country churches, inc luding a p a r t i c u l a r l y i n t e r e s t i n g one a t C l i f t o n Springs, New York, i n 1876, Through- out t he 1870s, both i n h i s independent p r a c t i c e and i n his pa r tne r sh ip with P o t t e r , Robertson designed fn t h e c u r r e n t l y fash ionable High Yic to r i an Gothic s t y l e .

I n t h e 1880s, Robertson f e l l under t h e inf luence of the Romanesque Re- v i v a l sparked by t h e work- in Boston of Henry Hobson Richardson.

According t o Montgomery Schuyler, " the Romanesque, o r a t l e a s t t he Romantic, phase of design seems t o be so much the more c h a r a c t e r i s t i c and important a s t o c o n s t i t u t e a r t i s t i c a l l y t h e bulk of h i s work. "

I n t he 1890s, Robertson designed s e v e r a l country houses, including a very f i n e one f o r A.S.

The bu lk of h i s work a t t h i s time, however, began looking t o t he f r e e Clas- s i c a l o r neo-Renaissance s t y l e coming i n t o fashion. Several row houses on upper F i f t h and Madison Avenues, and St . Pau l ' s Methodist Episcopal Church (1896) a t West 8 6 t h S t r e e t and West End Avenue ( s t i l l s tanding a s t h e Church of St . Paul and S t . Andrew) r e f l e c t t he s t y l e , bu t Robertson's use of i t was more apparent a t t h e time i n a s e r i e s of skyscrapers he de- signed i n lower Manhattan. The Lincoln Building (1885), the Mowhawk, t he McIntyre, t he Corn Exchange Bank (1893-94), t he Park Row Building, and the Trac t Society Building (1894-95), a l l designed i n t h e base- sha f t - cap i t a l formula of t h e e a r l y skyscraper , a r e e s s e n t i a l l y l a r g e blocks t o which c l a s s i c a l - s t y l e ornament has been appl ied .

I n 1902, Robertson, who had remained a f r i e n d and a s s o c i a t e of W i l l i a m A. P o t t e r over t he yea r s , took i n P o t t e r ' s nephew, Robert Burn- s i d e P o t t e r , a s a pa r tne r . The younger P o t t e r had received h i s diploma from t h e Ecole des Beau-Arts i n 1900, and probably had.been i n W i l l i a m A. P o t t e r t s o f f i c e t h e r e a f t e r . Among t h e i r commissions w a s t he con- ve r s ion of Edward T. P o t t e r ' s Nott Memorial a t Union College i n t o a l i b r a r y (1 902-03).

I n 1908, Robertson took i n h i s son Thomas Markoe Robertson a s par t - ner , and t h e f i rm of Robertson & Son continued u n t i l t h e e l d e r Robertson's death i n 1919. T. Markoe Robertson had graduated from Yale i n 1901, and received h i s diploma from t h e Ecole des Beaux-Arts i n 1903. I n t he 1920s and 1930s, wi th h i s pa r tne r John Sloari i n t h e f i rm of Sloan Robertson ( see ) , t he younger Robertson designed a number of major skyscrapers i n t he A r t Deco s t y l e , inc luding t h e Women's House of Detention i n Green- wich Vi l l age (1929-31; demolished), t he Graybar Building (1927) i n t he Grand Cent ra l Terminal complex, and t h e Chanin Building (1927-29), a designated New York Ci ty Landmark.

Many of R.H. Robertson's b e s t bu i ld ings have disappeared i n the cen- t u r y s i n c e t h e t r cons t ruc t ion . Of his many works-mostly churches and town houses--on t h e Upper East Side, only four remain, and of these, two have l o s t t h e i r o r i g i n a l f r o n t s .

In 1873, Schickel e s t ab l i shed h is own p rac t i ce , r e ly ing i n i t i a l l y on the patron- age of German immigrants f o r important commissions-. Most notable i n t h i s regard w a s t h e patronage of Oswald Ottendorfer , noted phi lanthro- p i s t and publ i sher of t he German language New Yorker S t a a t s Zeitung. Schlckel served a s a r c h i t e c t f o r t h e two phi lan thropic i n s t i t u t i o n s founded by Oswald and Anna Ottendorfer : t h e German Di'spensary (now Stuyvesant Po lyc l in i c ) and t h e F re i e Bib l io thek and Lesehal le (now the Ottendorfer Branch.of t he New York Pulilic Library) . Both of these bui ld ings were constructed i n 1883-84 on lower Second Avenue and a r e today designated New York Ci ty Landmarks. Schickel was e spec ia l ly pro- minent a s an a r c h l t e c t of commercial s t r u c t u r e s . The i n t e r e s t of these bui ld ings lies not only f n t h e i r a r c h i t e c t u r a l q u a l i t y but a l s o i n t h e i r innovat ive and a t t r a c t i v e use of new mate r i a l s such a s t e r r a cot- t a and c a s t i ron . I n add i t ion t o h i s work i n the SoHo-Cast Iron Histor- i c D i s t r i c t , Schickel designed t h e Constable bui ld ing (1833) on F i f t h Avenue, t h e Je f f e r son Building on West 23rd S t r e e t , and t h e o r i g i n a l bui ld ing of t h e Century I l l u s t r a t e d Magazine a t 33-37 East 17th Street. In t h i s l a s t bui ld ing , which overlooks Union Square, Schickel rs charac- t e r i s t i c meticulous handling of b r i ck and t e r r a -co t t a ornament--perhaps r e f l e c t i n g i n p a r t h i s German background, although thoroughly cons i s t en t with American a r c h i t e c t u r a l developments--is combined with an obvious awareness of contemporary English design. The "Ipswich" o r i e l window no doubt de r ives from Richard Norman Shawrs i n f l u e n c t i a l commercial s t r u c t - ure , New Zealand Chambers i n Leadenhall S t r e e t , London, of 1871-73 (now demolished). Schickel a l s o designed a number of houses i n t h e American vers ion of t he English-fnspired Queen Anne s t y l e such as t h e handsome and imaginat ively composed town house a t 835 Madison Avenue of 1884. This picturesque facade seems a marked con t ra s t t o the d i sc ip l ined , almost severe framework of t h e F re i e Bib l io thek , facade of t he same year . The combination of Renaissance compositional mot i f s , smooth wal l surf aces , and s u b t l e polychromatic e f f e c t s is u l t ima te ly derived from the s t y l e of t he important Bavarian a r c h i t e c t F r i ed r i ch von Gdrtner and is bes t seen i n h i s Bavarian S t a t e Library of 1834-40. The t a s t e f o r smooth su r faces and co lo r and the more picturesque design of t he Queen Anne a r e synthesized i n such small works a s t h e handsome c a r r i a g e house a t 153 East 69th S t r e e t . The c a r r i a g e house a t 180 East 73rd S t r e e t , a designated New York Ci ty Landmark, combines elements of Schickel ' s in- t e r e s t i n t h e I t a l i a n Renaissance s t y l e with polychromatic b r i ck work.

With t h e expansion of h i s p r a c t i c e i n the l a t e 1880s Schickel began t o en large h i s o f f i c e , forming a par tnersh ip , known a s William Schickel & Company,.in 1887 wi th the a r c h i t e c t s I saac E.

According t o Er in Drake and Christopher Gray, Schmidt's e a r l i e s t e x t a n t work is t h e Grenv i l l e T. E m e t house a t 39 East 63rd S t r e e t , designed i n 1917.
