About Stanford White

1853–1906 • United States

American architect and partner in the firm of McKim, Mead, and White. Worked with H. H. Richardson and was responsible for several houses, including the William Watts Sherman House (1874-1876). He left the firm in 1878 and traveled to Europe, after which he entered the firm of McKim and Mead as a junior partner in 1879, specializing in interior design. The lure of New York's cafe society led to his affair with socialite actress Evelyn Nesbitt and fatal shooting by her husband Harry K.Thaw in 1906.
