Overview

Delano & Aldrich were New York’s most sophisticated architects, with clients such as the Knickerbocker, Colony, and Union Clubs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the American Embassy in Paris. In 1903, Delano & Aldrich was formed and secured commissions from the Rockefellers, Stokes, and Winthrops. Their form of architecture adapted conservative Georgian and Federal styles for their townhouses, churches, and schools, mixing the classical orders of architecture with their level of modern imagination.
