Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul
Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul was an American architectural firm founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1885 by Robert Day Andrews, Herbert Jaques and Augustus Day Rantoul.[1] The firm designed numerous buildings that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Their works include:
- The Hartford Club (1901), Hartford, Connecticut,[2] of which Mark Twain was a member
- The Equitable Building (1892), Denver, Colorado[3]
- The Montgomery Building (1892), southeast corner of Milwaukee & Michigan Streets, Milwaukee, Wisconsin[4]
- Gov. Frank West Rollins House (1890), Concord, New Hampshire
- The Hooper Mansion (1889), Boston, home of the Boston branch of the Church of Scientology[5]
Robert Day Andrews was a draftsman under Henry Hobson Richardson[2] before co-founding Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul. His subsequent firm, Chapman, Sturgis & Andrews, designed the white marble wings of the Massachusetts State House in 1914-1917.[6]
Despite many listings as Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul, even during the years they operated, the firm name is correctly spelled: Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul.[7]
