From the Paper:

"Warren and Wetmore were typical of the leading architects of their time, most of whom established offices in New York after studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. A They specialized in the design of buildings inspired by historic European and American colonial styles as well as contemporary French Beaux-Arts ideals, setting the stage for an academic revival that had a far-reaching influence on American design, particularly in the 1890s and first decades of the 20th century.@ (Philadelphia Online/Books/Chapter One)"
