| James Riely Gordon established a practice in San Antonio specializing in public buildings. He designed sixteen Texas courthouses including the exuberant Romanesque designs for the Bexar County Courthouse (1891-1896) and the Ellis County Courthouse (1892). In 1902, he moved to New York where his success in the realm of public buildings and contributions in professional associations continued. By the end of his career, he had designed more than sixty courthouses across the nation. The work of one of his New York partners, Alfred Zucker, is also represented in this collection. The Gordon Collection contains drawings for over 300 buildings in addition to photographs, models, archival materials and furniture. | |
