Charles Follen McKim FAIA was an American Beaux-Arts architect of the late 19th century. Along with Stanford White, he provided the architectural expertise as a member of the partnership McKim, Mead, and White. McKim received numerous awards during his lifetime, including the Medaille d'Or at the 1900 Paris Exposition, a gold medal from Edward VII of the United Kingdom, and honorary doctorates from the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. &nbsp;He received the AIA Gold Medal, posthumously, in 1909.

Often depressed and always well dressed, Charles McKim was known to be a perfectionist about the quality of construction rejecting samples that did not conform to his high standards. &nbsp;
