Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge
Encyclopedia
Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge was a successful architecture
firm based in Boston
, Massachusetts
, operating between 1886 and 1915, with extensive commissions in monumental civic and collegiate architecture in the spirit and style of Henry Hobson Richardson
.
(1860–1903), Charles Hercules Rutan (1851–1914), and Charles Allerton Coolidge (1858–1932) gained control of the firm and completed all of its nearly two dozen pending projects, including the John J. Glessner House
in Chicago
. Many of Richardson's projects were completed and modified in stages over years, making exact attribution difficult for such buildings as the Ames Gate Lodge
in North Easton, Massachusetts
, and even Richardson's masterwork Trinity Church, Boston
.
Two of the principals had been educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
: Shepley (class of 1882) and Coolidge (class of 1883). Shepley married Richardson's daughter; and Coolidge later married Shepley's sister.
In 1888, the firm was commissioned by Senator and Mrs. Leland Stanford
to join landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted
in planning the campus for Stanford University
. For major commissions in Chicago and the World's Columbian Exposition
, Coolidge moved to Chicago and the firm opened its branch office there in 1893, in which many Prairie School
architects received their early professional training, notably Hermann V. von Holst
who was head draughtsman. A St. Louis branch office began the career of John Mauran
; a Pittsburgh branch office developed into Rutan & Russell; Pasadena
architect Myron Hunt
spent three years with them in Boston as draftsman.
Stylistically, the firm continued to work mainly in the architectural vocabulary of Richardsonian Romanesque
, although with less imagination—for instance, Richardson's asymmetry disappears. The firm continued as Shepley Rutan and Coolidge through 1915, then became Coolidge and Shattuck (Boston) and Coolidge and Hodgdon (Chicago) concurrently from 1915 through 1924, then Coolidge Shepley Bulfinch and Abbott from 1924 through 1952, Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott from 1952, and is still in operation as Shepley Bulfinch
