R. Brognard Okie

[2] He gained practical experience from a summer (1896) spent with William L. Price.

[1] In 1899, he formed a partnership with architects H. Louis Duhring Jr. and Carl Ziegler, that lasted until 1918.

[2] He designed a re-creation of George Washington's "President's House" as an attraction at the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia; a re-creation of Pennsbury Manor, William Penn's manor house on the Delaware River, as a museum for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; and restored the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia as a museum.

He also designed dozens of exquisitely-detailed Colonial-Revival houses in the suburbs surrounding Philadelphia.

[3] A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Merestone in New Garden Township, Pennsylvania , built in 1942, is an example of Okie's popular Pennsylvania-farmhouse style.
