McKim Mead White

Origins

McKim Mead White is a Beaux-Arts architectural style that emerged in the late 19th century and remained popular until the early 20th century. Known for its grandeur and classical elegance, this style combines elements of French neoclassical design with American architectural traditions. The firm McKim Mead White, comprised of architects Charles Follen McKim, William Rutherford Mead, and Stanford White, played a significant role in popularizing this style through their iconic works such as the Boston Public Library and the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
