| | Hood, Raymond Mathewson (1881-1934) -- Philadelphia Architects and Buildings |
 | | Born in Pawtucket, RI, Hood gained his education at Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
 | | After a year of travel, Hood returned to Hornbostel; but in 1914 he launched his own practice, struggling to gain clients. |
 | | Effectively this commission launched him as a designer of skyscrapers, and he would participate in several offices subsequently, including Hood, Godley & Fouilhoux on the Masonic Temple and Scottish Rite Cathedral in Scranton, PA (1929), the competition for the Chapel, Girard College (1929), and the design for an addition to the DuPont Building, Wilmington, DE. |
