	McKim, Mead, and White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McKim, Mead, and White was the premier architectural firm in the eastern United States at the turn of the twentieth century.
		McKim was a designer with a keen understanding of early American buildings and decorative arts, a powerful ability to simplify forms, and a list of clients and connections that would benefit the firm for the next thirty years.
		McKim, Mead and White's architecture rose to the level of excellence because the strengths and weaknesses of each partner complemented the others, because each architect understood his own role in the process, and because they worked together.

	Stanford White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stanford White (September 11, 1853 - June 25, 1906) was an American architect and the "celebrity" partner in the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White, the frontrunner among Beaux-Arts firms.
		White lived the same life as his clients, not quite so lavishly perhaps, and he knew how the house had to perform: like a first-rate hotel, like a theater foyer, like a theater set with appropriate historical references.
		White had a major influence in the "Shingle Style" of the 1880s, on Neo-Colonial style, and the Newport cottages for which he is celebrated.

		In addition, McKim, Mead, and White's plan called for weight-bearing walls to be taken out on the main floor of the building (in order to expand the dining room), which meant that the second floor had to be suspended from a steel truss in the attic, rather than resting on support from the main floor.
		The woodwork is wholly in white, with a high enamel finish; the four mantels are of richly colored marble, and the curtains and hangings are of yellow.
		McKim, Mead, and White described the changes in their architects' report: "The walls of the East Room are covered with wood panelling, enameled; the ornamental ceiling is done in stucco, and set in the walls are twelve low relief panels by Piccirilli Brothers, sculptors, the subjects being taken from Aesop's Fables.
