In 1919, he established Harland Bartholomew and Associates and served as its chairman until his retirement in 1962. [1]

He is noted for his work with the Eisenhower administration, including his work on the Washington Metro as chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission, and advocating society first planning for freeway building. [2]
