Architecture firm based in Buffalo (USA)

Green & Wicks was an architectural firm of Buffalo, New York.

Practice[edit]

Edward Brodhead Green was an 1878 graduate of Cornell University’s College of Architecture, and designed a number of buildings which made up Cornell’s Agriculture Quadrangle, including Bailey Hall (1912), Caldwell Hall (1913), the Computing and Communications Center (1912, originally known as Comstock Hall), Fernow Hall (1915), and the original Roberts Hall (1906, demolished 1990).

Green’s best-known commissions were designed with his partner William Sydney Wicks (1854–1917), as Green & Wicks. The firm’s chronology is:[1]

  • 1884: Green & Wicks founded
  • 1917: Renamed E.B. Green & Son
  • 1933: Renamed E. B Green after his son’s death[dubious – discuss]
  • 1936: Renamed Green & James
  • 1945: Renamed Green, James & Meadows
  • 1950: Renamed James & Meadows after Green’s death
  • 1952: Renamed James, Meadows & Howard
  • 1971: Firm dissolved[citation needed]

The firm’s records survive in the library collections of the Buffalo History Museum.[2]

A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[3][4]
