History

 

HDB/Cram and Ferguson has been designing buildings for 120 years, having been in continuous practice since 1889.  Today, HDB/Cram & Ferguson exists as a professional firm engaged in the general practice of architecture, historic preservation, interior design and construction.

Founded by Ralph Adams Cram and Charles Francis Wentworth, HDB/Cram & Ferguson represents more than a century of classical American architecture.  Cram, Wentworth and later, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue developed Christian religious architecture to a high art form in America.  Their churches and collegiate buildings continue to be celebrated today for their timeless quality and good design.

Today, our Principal, Ethan Anthony AIA, continues to design using the traditional forms and methods pioneered by our founders.
