Stanford White

Stanford White was a prominent American architect and designer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a founding partner of the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, known for creating grand, Beaux-Arts style buildings, including famous landmarks like the original Madison Square Garden and parts of the Brooklyn Museum. White’s work shaped New York City’s elegant and historic architectural landscape. His career ended abruptly when he was murdered in 1906, but his influence remains evident in many of New York’s iconic structures.
