George Foster Shepley FAIA (November 7, 1860 – July 17, 1903) was an American architect.

[2] Shepley worked briefly for the Boston firm of Ware & Van Brunt before joining the Brookline studio of Henry Hobson Richardson.

In June 1886 the three formed a formal partnership, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, to succeed to Richardson's practice, and in 1887 moved the office to Boston.

[1] Shepley is credited for redirecting the firm's stylistic output from the idiosyncratic Richardsonian Romanesque style to the Classical architecture of the Beaux-Arts movement.

[5] Shepley died July 17, 1903, in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where he had traveled for health-related reasons.
