Martin & Hall

Martin & Hall was an American architectural firm based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Likely as a result of this, both were denied membership in the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) until after the deaths of Alfred Stone and Edmund R. Willson.

Their work was concentrated in Rhode Island with a small number of projects in other New England states and one in Texas.

[1] While employed by the firm he independently designed a building on the Seekonk River for the Narragansett Boat Club (1891), of which he was a member.

In 1928 he was appointed secretary of the commission responsible for erecting a statue of Oliver Hazard Perry at the Rhode Island State House; it was dedicated about two weeks after his death.

A small group of early projects, such as their first major completed work, the Roger Williams Park Museum of Natural History (1895), are Châteauesque.

The Smith building is also Rhode Island's exemplary example of the Commercial Style as it was then being developed in Chicago.

[10] Three notable Rhode Island architects, Wallis Eastburn Howe, Norman M. Isham and Ambrose J. Murphy, worked for Martin & Hall.
