Israel T. Almy (1892-1963) was an American architect from Fall River, Massachusetts.

Life and career[edit]

Almy was born in Middletown, Rhode Island on Christmas Eve of 1892. In 1913 he took a position as a draftsman with Fall River architect Edward M. Corbett. He was educated at Northeastern College in Boston from 1919 to 1923, returning to Corbett after his graduation. He later became Corbett's business partner, and opened his own office soon afterwards, in 1935. He practiced alone until his death on December 14, 1963.[1]

Mr. Almy's Architecture License number in MA was 4, making him among the first to be registered to practice in Massachusetts.

After his death, the firm became Israel T. Almy Associates, with Almy's son, Thomas B. Almy, as principal.[2] The firm was later reduced to simply Almy Associates, with offices in Somerset.
