Bruce & Morgan was an American architectural firm based in Atlanta. It was established in 1882 as the partnership of architects Alexander Campbell Bruce (1835-1927) and Thomas Henry Morgan (1857-1940). [1]
Bruce & Morgan were the successors to Parkins & Bruce. Senior partner William H. Parkins was the first architect to practice in postbellum Atlanta, having moved there in 1868. Although the firm designed a range of buildings types and sizes, the firm largely focused on designing public buildings (courthouses, schools, religious buildings, etc.). [2] The firm's major projects often contain Romanesque elements such as bell towers and attempts at classical architectural symmetry. In the twentieth century, the firm's projects shifted towards steel framed skyscrapers in Atlanta. [2] In 1903 the partnership was expanded to include John Robert Dillon, formerly of Chicago, and became known as Bruce, Morgan & Dillon. [3] Bruce withdrew from the partnership in 1904, after which it became known as Morgan & Dillon and later Morgan, Dillon & Lewis. Under Morgan's leadership the firm lasted until his death in 1940.
The firm produced many works which are preserved and listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places. [4]
