Where did Bruce Price work before Oct 1864?
Bruce Price Bruce Price ( 12 December 1845 – 29 May 1903 ) was an American architect and an innovator in the Shingle Style . The stark geometry and compact massing of his cottages in Tuxedo Park , New York , influenced Modernist architects , including Frank Lloyd Wright and Robert Venturi . He also designed Richardsonian Romanesque institutional buildings , Beaux-Arts mansions , and Manhattan skyscrapers . In Canada , he designed Châteauesque railroad stations and grand hotels for the Canadian Pacific Railway , including Windsor Station in Montreal and Château Frontenac in Quebec City . Life and career . Price was born in Cumberland , Maryland , the son of William and Marian Bruce Price . He studied for a short time at Princeton University . After four years of internship in the office of the Baltimore architects Niernsee & Neilson ( 1864–68 ) , he began his professional work in Baltimore with Ephraim Francis Baldwin as a partner . Following a brief study trip to Europe , he opened an office in Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania , where he practiced from 1873 to 1876 . He settled in New York City in 1877 , where he worked on a series of domestic projects . These culminated in the design and layout of the exclusive 7,000-acre planned community of Tuxedo Park ( 1885–86 ) , created by Pierre Lorillard IV . The striking buildings Price designed there , with their severe geometry , compact massing and axial plans , were highly influential in the architectural profession . Eight of Prices houses – including five from Tuxedo Park – were among the one hundred buildings selected for George William Sheldons landmark survey of American domestic architecture : Artistic Country-Seats ( 1886–87 ) . The most famous of these , the Pierre Lorillard V cottage ( Cottage G ) , though demolished and now known only through photographs , remains an icon of American architecture . Prices daughter wrote in 1911 : In beginning Tuxedo , the architects idea was to fit buildings with the surrounding woods , and the gate-lodge and keep were built of graystone with as much moss and lichen as possible . The shingled cottages were stained with the color of the woods—russets and grays and dull reds—ugly to the taste of a quarter century later , though this treatment did much to neutralize the newness of the buildings—Old World and tradition-haunted as it looks , it is new , incredibly new . Among the Manhattan office buildings he designed were the American Surety Building , the St . James Building , the Bank of the Metropolis and the International Bank . He also collaborated with sculptor Daniel Chester French on the Richard Morris Hunt Memorial ( 1898 ) in Central Park . He designed a lecture hall and a dormitory at Yale University . His grandest residential commission was Georgian Court , the neo-Georgian estate of George Jay Gould I in Lakewood , New Jersey . Price invented , patented , and built the parlor bay-window cars for the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Boston and Albany Railroad . This work prompted the Canadian Pacific Railways to consider his portfolio . He designed the Château Frontenac in Quebec City for the Canadian Pacific ( arguably the structure Price is most identified with ) , as well as the first Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta , and many other hotels and stations . He was a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects ( 1890 ) and belonged to the Architectural League of New York . In 1900 , he entered into a partnership with French architect Jules Henri de Sibour , who had earlier worked in his office . The firm continued to use the name Bruce Price & de Sibour until 1908 , five years after Prices death . In 1871 , Price married Josephine Lee , the daughter of a Wilkes-Barre coal baron . They had two children : Emily Price Post , who became a novelist and the American authority on etiquette , and William , who died in infancy . Price is buried , along with his wife and son , in Hollenback Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania . Selected works .
