Thom & Wilson

American architectural partnership

Thom & Wilson, the New York City-based architectural office of Arthur M. Thom and James W. Wilson, was a prolific partnership that turned out numerous brownstones in somewhat generic Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival styles. The firm's most prominent commission was the 1894 Manhattan Criminal Courts (or "New Criminal Courts Building"), a grand, five-story Beaux-Arts structure with two sculpted pediments, situated on a full block between Centre, Franklin Street, Elm (now Lafayette), and White Streets in the Civic Center of Manhattan.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
