Description:
(Architect, Painter) Stanford White was a prominent American architect recognized for his partnership in the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. He focused on designing residences for affluent clients and contributed to various civic, institutional, and religious structures. White's design approach embodied the "American Renaissance" style. Among his notable works are the temporary and permanent Washington Square Arch. In a tragic turn of events, White was fatally shot in 1906 during a musical performance at Madison Square Garden by Harry Kendall Thaw, an heir with mental health issues fixated on White's alleged association with Thaw's wife.
