Everything about Schultze And Weaver totally explained
The
architectural firm of
Schultze and Weaver was established in
New York City in
1921. The partners were Leonard Schultze and S. Fullerton Weaver.
Leonard B. Schultze was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 5, 1877. He was educated at the City College of New York and ranks high among the most successful pupils of Franco-American architect
Emmanuel Louis Masqueray, founder of the Atelier Masqueray. Schultze had been an employee of the firm of
Warren & Wetmore, and during his twenty years in that company's office he'd worked on the designs for such projects as New York's
Grand Central Terminal.
Weaver's primary responsibilities in the new firm were in engineering, business, and real estate. Schultze and Weaver's first major commssion was from
John McEntee Bowman's
Biltmore Hotels, for the large
Los Angeles hotel today known as the
Millennium Biltmore.
Their later work included several other projects for the same company, including the
Atlanta Biltmore Hotel, the Miami Biltmore Hotel and the
Coral Gables Biltmore Hotel. The firm also designed the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. In addition to their work outside New York, they designed several noted landmark hotels within the city, including The Park Lane Hotel, The Lexington Hotel,
The Pierre Hotel and its neighbor, the Sherry-Netherland. Schultze & Weaver architect Lloyd Morgan (1892-1970), in 1929, designed the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel which, upon its completion in 1931, was the world's largest, with 2,200 rooms.
Though best known for their work on luxury hotels, Schultze and Weaver also designed schools, hospitals, residential developments, and office buildings such as the 1925 New York headquarters of the
J.C. Penney Company.
