Edward Mellon

His brother was Thomas Alexander Mellon II.

In 1919, he designed Villa Maria in Meadow Lane, Southampton, Long Island, New York, as a holiday home for his family.

[1] In 1921, his uncles, Andrew W. Mellon and Richard B. Mellon, wanted him to design the main buildings, including what is now known as the Cathedral of Learning for the University of Pittsburgh for which they were the main benefactors.

The new university chancellor John Gabbert Bowman thought Mellon's work was a "waste" but paid him, and eventually engaged Charles Klauder in February 1924.

[2] In 1940, his daughter Jane Caldwell Mellon married the New York City lawyer Craigh Leonard.
