| TEXT | No feature of a great city is so prominently brought to the public attention as that of its architectural display, and no profession is of greater or more lasting importance to every member of the community. Prominent among the number is the , active and enterprising firm of Messrs. Charles W. Romeyn & Co., whose offices are so eligibly and centrally located in the " Evening Post" Building, corner of Broadway and Fulton Street. Mr. Charles W. Romeyn, the senior partner, is still in the early prime of life, and after a lengthy term of practical experience aud oversight in the wide field of architecture, commenced the practice of the profession upon his own account in 1877. He met with a prompt and continuously enlarging recognition of his talents and energy from the first, and the growth and development of his business was such that in 1882 he formed a copartnership with Mr. Alfred E. Barlow and Mr. A. Jay .Stever, both gentlemen being practical and experienced members of the profession, possessing the. highest of reputations, and who, in joining forces with Mr. Romeyn. place the firm in an unsurpassed position as regards versatility of talent aud the necessary ability and facilities to promptly and personally attend to the details of all commissions in their line, The firm transacts a general line of business, including all branches of the profession, and possess elegant and commodious offices, connected with which are spacious and well-lighted draughting-rooms, and where a numerous force of assistants are kept con-stantly employed in the preparation of plans, ete. The firm have successfully executed some of the most important and extensive undertakings in their line ever attempted in this city, notably the immense structure erected by them for the Clark estate, at the corner of Broadway and Seventy-fifth Street, which is an architectural ornament to the metropolis and is much admired for its beauty, while the elaboration of detail and the care bestowed upon every department of the work reflects the utmost credit upon this firm's honorable and business-like methods. The firm is also at the present time engaged in the construction of a fire-proof apartment-house at the corner of Fifty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, to cost 400,000. This immense building is ten stories in height and towers up far above all the surrounding edifices. It attracts general attention and is much admired for its massive elegance and its numerous ornamental features. Buildings such as this are a lasting monument to the skill and genius of their designers, and a proof of the rapid development of the architectural profession to meet the requirements of enlarging capital and the enhanced value of land. They also built the elegant apartment-house at the corner of Sixty-third Street and Park Avenue, known as the " Hetherington"; also many fine buildings in various sections, among others the palatial residence of Mr. R. C. Vilas, at Yonkers, costing upwards of 00,000; also a mansion at Pittsburg, Pa., costing about the same amount. In the line of commercial structures of all descriptions they are equally well prepared to give satisfaction, and lately built a large warehouse for Messrs. J. B. Hoyt & Co., the great leather belting and hide and leather house. They are at all times prepared to give estimates, and cheerfully furnish plans to meet the views of those intending to build, and can be relied upon to spare no time or pains to fulfil the expectations of their patrons. Mr. Romeyn and his copartners are natives of this city, personally conversant with its growth and wants, and whose practical experience has been of that direct character so valuable for the intelligent undertaking and the successful completion of all work appertaining to their profession and embodiment of any series of plans in the construction of buildings. |
