'''Shepley Bulfinch''' ('''Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott Inc.''') is an international architecture, planning, and interior design firm with offices in Boston, Hartford, Houston, and Phoenix. It is one of the oldest architecture firms in continuous practice in the United States,<ref>Almanac of Architecture & Design 2015, pp. 282-283</ref> and was recognized by the American Institute of Architects with its highest honor, the AIA Architecture Firm Award, in 1973.<ref>{{cite web |title=A.I.A.

Shepley Bulfinch was formed in Boston in 1874 as the architectural practice of American architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Following Richardson's death in 1886, the firm existed as '''Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge''' through 1915, then became '''Coolidge and Shattuck''' from 1915 through 1924, '''Coolidge Shepley Bulfinch and Abbott''' from 1924 through 1952, and Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott from 1952.

On the day of his death, Richardson left instructions that his practice should be continued by his three chief assistants: George Foster Shepley (November 7, 1860 – July 17, 1903), Charles Hercules Rutan (March 28, 1851 – December 17, 1914) and Charles Allerton Coolidge (November 30, 1858 – April 1, 1936), to whom in his declining health he had delegated greater and greater responsibility. Shepley was in charge of drafting, was Richardson's representative to clients and was engaged to Richardson's daughter, Julia Hayden. Rutan was the Richardson employee with the longest tenure and was the office's construction and engineering expert. Coolidge was Richardson's most favored designer. Before joining Richardson, both Shepley and Coolidge had worked for Ware & Van Brunt and had been educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later, Coolidge married Shepley's sister, Julia.<ref name="Wickersham">Jay Wickersham and Christopher Milford, "Richardson's death, Ames's money, and the birth of the modern architectural firm" in ''Perspecta'' 47 (2014): 114-127.</ref>
Following Richardson's instructions, and with the legal and financial backing of his friends and clients Edward W. Hooper and Frederick Lothrop Ames, they organized the firm of '''Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge''' in June in Richardson's Brookline studio. At first they were primarily engaged on the completion of Richardson's many unfinished works, including the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh and the John J. Glessner House in Chicago.<ref name="Wickersham"/> By 1887 they had relocated from suburban Brookline to downtown Boston and were soliciting new work.<ref name="Today">"Shepley, George F." in ''[https://archive.org/details/bostonoftodaygla01herna/page/n9/mode/2up Boston of To-day: A Glance at its History and Characteristics]'', ed. Richard Herndon (Boston: Post Publishing Company, 1892): 389.</ref> The three partners quickly settled into their new roles: Shepley and Coolidge as designers and Rutan as superintendent and office manager. Coolidge also emerged as the firm's promoter and rainmaker and quickly began to win major projects for the firm.<ref name="Wickersham"/>
By the time of Richardson's death, the Richardsonian Romanesque style with which he is associated had become widely imitated and was seen as old-fashioned by the most progressive American architects. Richardson himself was moving away from explicitly Romanesque detail, as at the New London Union Station (1887). Shepley and Coolidge initially continued as Richardsonian imitators. Later historians such as Henry-Russell Hitchcock have found their Richardsonian work to be of a higher quality than that of other imitators, though in their hands, without Richardson's imagination, it became stale and formulaic. Their Richardsonian works included the Ames Building (1889) in Boston, the Shadyside Presbyterian Church (1890) in Pittsburgh and the new campus of Stanford University (1891) near San Francisco.<ref name="Hitchcock">Henry-Russell Hitchcock, ''The Architecture of H. H. Richardson and his Times'' (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1961): 287-289.</ref><ref name="Wickersham"/>
After a few years Shepley and Coolidge embraced the Neoclassical and other contemporary revival styles, following the lead of McKim, Mead & White, who after Richardson's death had taken his position as the leading American architects.<ref name="Hitchcock"/> Their embrace of Neoclassicism first appeared in their unexecuted proposal for the Rhode Island State House (1891), a competition they lost to McKim.<ref name="ShepleyCyclo">"Shepley, George Foster" in ''The National Cyclopedia of American Biography'' 22 (New York: James T. White & Company, 1932): 99.</ref><ref name="Wickersham"/> Their first built Neoclassical works included the Art Institute of Chicago (1893) and the Chicago Cultural Center (1897). During this time they also became known for their Colonial Revival work, especially that at Harvard University. Their first Harvard building was Conant Hall (1894) and would hold a near monopoly on design work at Harvard during the presidency of A. Lawrence Lowell.<ref>Bainbridge Bunting, ''Harvard: An Architectural History'', ed. Margaret Henderson Floyd (Cambridge: Belknap Press, 1985): 124.</ref> They were very successful in Chicago, where competing local architects began to jealously refer to them as "Simply Rotten & Foolish."<ref name="Wickersham"/> In 1892 Coolidge consolidated all of the firm's field offices into a Chicago branch office, with himself as resident partner until 1900.<ref>"Personal" in ''Inland Architect and Building News'' 18, no. 6 (January 1892): 79.</ref> If this move was in part an attempt to allay the Chicagoans' concern that they were architectural carpetbaggers, it was likely unsuccessful as additional important work, including the master plan and buildings of the University of Chicago, went into their office.<ref name="Wickersham"/> In 1893 a second branch office was established in St. Louis, Shepley's hometown, under the management of John Lawrence Mauran. In 1900, as Coolidge returned to Boston, the firm chose to withdraw from St. Louis, and Mauran and two associates bought out the local business to form the firm of Mauran, Russell & Garden.<ref>"Architects' Removals, etc." in ''[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Architect_and_Building_News/hqMDAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 American Architect and Building News]'' 69, no. 1281 (July 14, 1900): x.</ref>
Shepley died in 1903 and Rutan became disabled in 1912, leaving Coolidge as the only active partner. Coolidge dissolved the partnership effective December 1, 1914, followed shortly by Rutan's death.<ref name="RutanSuit">"Sarah E. Rutan, executrix, ''vs.'' Charles A.

Shattuck (November 22, 1863 – September 3, 1923)<ref>"George C. Shattuck dies at Exeter, N. H." ''Boston Globe'', September 5, 1923.</ref> in Boston and '''Coolidge & Hodgdon''' with Charles Hodgdon (August 19, 1866 – November 21, 1953)<ref>"Charles Hodgdon," ''Chicago Tribune'', November 26, 1953.</ref> in Chicago. Though they were both directed by Coolidge, the two firms operated independently of one another.<ref>''[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Economist/rkROAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 Economist]'' 53, no. 6 (February 6, 1915): 239.</ref><ref>"Personals" in ''[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Architect/Vv4zAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 American Architect]'' 108, no. 2066 (July 28, 1915): 62.</ref> In 1923, Shattuck died, and in 1924 Coolidge formed a new Boston partnership with Henry R. Shepley (May 1, 1887 – November 24, 1962),<ref>"Henry Shepley dies, noted hub architect," ''Boston Globe'', November 25, 1962.</ref> Francis V. Bulfinch (June 3, 1879 – September 14, 1963)<ref>"Francis V. Bulfinch, architect, engineer, 84," ''Boston Globe'', September 26, 1963.</ref> and Lewis B. Abbott (June 27, 1878 – June 28, 1965),<ref>"Lewis B. Abbott," ''Daily Evening Item'', June 29, 1965.</ref> known as '''Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch & Abbott'''. Shepley was the son of his former partner and his own nephew, and Bulfinch was the great-grandson of Charles Bulfinch.<ref>"Coolidge, Charles Allerton" in ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'' C (New York: James T. White & Company, 1930): 521.</ref> In 1930, Coolidge retired from the Chicago partnership, which was thereafter known as Charles Hodgdon & Son.<ref>''Architectural Record'' 67, no. 5 (November 1930): 200.</ref>
Coolidge was active as the senior partner of the Boston firm until his death in 1936, leaving the younger Shepley as senior partner. The name of the firm was not changed until 1952, when, with the addition of Joseph P. Richardson (April 9, 1913 – September 14, 1979),<ref>Edgar J. Driscoll Jr., "Architect J. P. Richardson," ''Boston Globe'', September 16, 1979.</ref> it was renamed '''Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson & Abbott'''. Richardson was, like Shepley, a grandson of H. H. Richardson. Other principals were added to the partnership over the next twenty years: in 1960 by James Ford Clapp Jr. (November 18, 1908 – January 22, 1998),<ref>Tom Lang, "James F. Clapp Jr., architect and amateur numismatist; at 89," ''Boston Globe'', February 25, 1998.</ref> son of the former partner of Clarence H. Blackall, in 1961 by Sherman Morss (February 22, 1912 – February 29, 1996),<ref>Anastasia Goodstein, "Service for Sherman Morss, 84; architect, formerly of Beverly," ''Boston Globe'', April 28, 1996.</ref> in 1963 by Jean Paul Carlhian (November 7, 1919 – October 18, 2012)<ref>Bryan Marquand, "Jean Paul Carlhian, 92; architect taught at Harvard," ''Boston Globe'', November 30, 2012.</ref> and Hugh Shepley (March 17, 1928 – September 4, 2017),<ref>"Hugh Shepley," ''Boston Globe'', September 10, 2017.</ref> son of Henry R. Shepley, and in 1969 by Otis B. Robinson (April 25, 1916 – April 20, 1999).<ref>"Otis B. Robinson, at 82; architect for college, religious buildings," ''Boston Globe'', April 22, 1999.</ref>
In 1972 the firm was incorporated and the partnership was dissolved. For several years, control remained in the hands of Richardson as the head of the internal Executive Committee. Corporate officers, including president, were elected annually and had limited power. This system ended in 1978, when Richardson retired and George R. Mathey (June 4, 1929 – July 9, 2020)<ref>"Mathey, George R.," ''Boston Globe'', August 23, 2020.</ref> was elected the first long-term president. Mathey was a great-grandson of John J. Glessner, for whom H. H. Richardson had designed the John J. Glessner House. At this time the firm passed out of the control of the extended Richardson-Shepley-Coolidge family, which had led it since H. H. Richardson established himself independently in Brookline in 1878.<ref>Julia Heskel. ''Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott: Past to Present'' (Boston: Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson & Abbott Inc., 1999): 85 and 95-99.</ref>
The firm was recipient of many design awards from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and other bodies, including the AIA Architecture Firm Award in 1973. In 1961 Shepley was made an officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau by Juliana, Queen of the Netherlands, in recognition of his design for the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten.<ref>Edgar J. Driscoll Jr., "Henry Richardson Shepley designed Margraten cemetery: Queen of Netherlands honors hub architect," ''Boston Globe'', April 2, 1961.</ref> Over its long history the firm completed works in every major contemporary style. They made the difficult transition from traditionalism to modernism by melding Bauhaus functionalism with Beaux-Arts planning principles. This owed much to Carlhian, a French-born, Beaux-Arts-trained architect who had joined the firm in 1950. In 1999, historian Vincent Scully wrote that their work "[embodied] their own history of American architecture over more than a hundred years."<ref>Vincent Scully, "Foreword" in ''Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott: Past to Present'' (Boston: Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson & Abbott Inc., 1999): 5.</ref>
Since 2000 the firm has been known as '''Shepley Bulfinch'''. In 2009, Shepley Bulfinch acquired Merz Project, a small design studio located in Phoenix, Arizona, that is now the firm's Phoenix office.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Morrison |first1=Kara G. |title=Architects renovate 1960s building, invite public to 'living room of the city' |pages=F2 |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/52683129/shepley-bulfinch-acquire-merz-project/ |newspaper=Arizona Republic |date=20 September 2014 |accessdate=3 June 2020}}</ref> In 2015, the firm acquired Bailey Architects of Houston as its third office.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bailey Architects to join Shepley Bulfinch |url=https://aiahouston.org/v/news-detail/Bailey-Architects-to-join-Shepley-Bulfinch/dn/ |work=AIA Houston |date=3 April 2015 |language=en}}</ref>
