(b. Cumberland, Maryland 1845; d. 1902)
Born in Cumberland, Maryland in 1845, Bruce Price
practiced briefly in Baltimore and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, before
moving to New York in 1877.
Early in his career, Price worked on a series of
domestic projects which culminated in the design and layout of Tuxedo
Park, a vacation community in New York. The Shingle style houses Price
built at Tuxedo, with their compact massing and axial plans, influenced
several young architects including Frank Lloyd Wright.
For his later works, Price generally used an
eclectic blend of styles. Notable works include his Romanesque Revival
Windsor Station, Montreal and his twenty-story office block in New York
for the American Surety Company.
Price died in 1902.
