Thomas Marriott James

Thomas Marriott James AIA (May 18, 1875 – July 8, 1942) was an American architect, active in the Boston area, best known for his bank buildings in styles ranging from Neoclassical to Spanish Renaissance to Art Deco.

[1][2] As a teenager employed by Clark, James was responsible for homes in Somerville for Mina J. Wendell (1893), principal of the Morse School,[3] and for his parents (1894).

In 1909 Hill moved to New York City to join the firm of John Jardine, and James continued alone.

For the first fifteen-odd years of his professional career, James had a general practice focusing on the design of homes and schools.

James retired from practice about the beginning of World War II,[6] and the firm was continued by partners William H. Jones and Frank H. Colony Jr. until the latter's death in 1973.
