A family-run architecture firm that had major influence on the post-war development of Manhattan. The firm was run by 3 generations, starting with Emery Roth (1871 – 1948) who was an American architect who designed many of the definitive New York City hotels and apartment buildings of the 1920s and 30s, incorporating Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details. Emery Roth & Sons frequently collaborated with other architects on large projects for which they were the architects of record.
