Kimball & Thompson

Kimball & Thompson was the name of an architectural partnership made up of Francis H. Kimball and G. Kramer Thompson from 1892 to 1898. They were early proponents of steel framed curtain-walled skyscrapers. They built several buildings in Manhattan.

Works

  • The Empire Building at 71 Broadway,
  • 26 Broadway, the Manhattan Life Insurance Building
  • The Rhinelander Mansion.
  • Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo Residence, Madison Avenue and 72nd Street, (1898), design credited to Kimball & Thompson "but a photograph of the mansion published at or near the end of construction included the notation that it was designed by Alexander Mackintosh, an obscure local practitioner."
  • A minor commission was for the carriage housing for B. Altman's horse-drawn delivery wagons (1896), which survives on West 18th Street, with completely refitted interiors.
