Richards, McCarty & Bulford was an American architectural firm. The General Services Administration has called the firm the "preeminent" architectural firm of the city of Columbus, Ohio.[1] A number of the firm's works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]

History

Clarence Earl Richards (1864–1921) and Joel Edward McCarty (1856–1952) founded the firm as Richards & McCarty in 1898, Columbus, Ohio. George Henry Bulford (1870–1942) joined as partner in 1899 and the firm name became Richards, McCarty & Bulford. Richards, McCarty, and Bulford had previously apprenticed at the firm of Yost & Packard of Columbus, Ohio. By way of McCarty's mother, Mary McCarty (née Mary Yost; 1834–1893), McCarty was a nephew of Joseph W. Yost.
