Buttrick White & Burtis (also known as BWB) was an architecture firm based in New York City, established in 1981 by the architects Harold Buttrick, Samuel G. White, and Theodore A. Burtis III, remaining active until 2002. Harold Buttrick left the firm in 1998 to form Murphy Burnham & Buttrick Architects. The architect Jean P. Phifer was a partner of the firm until 1996, after which she served as President of the Art Commission of the City of New York from 1998–2003. The architect Michael Dwyer was associated with the firm from 1981–1996. In 2002, Buttrick White & Burtis merged with Platt Byard Dovell to become Platt Byard Dovell White.[1]

Architectural practice

Buttrick White & Burtis's work was eclectic. Writing in 1985 in New York Magazine, Carter Wiseman contrasted the firm's conservative renovation work at the traditional, oak-paneled Harvard Club of New York with their more avant-garde designs for the stores of the then-hip Tower Records chain, adding that the chain's downtown venue was "the most successful such enterprise in America."[2] BWB was also known for artful renovations and additions to architectural landmarks, such as those at the Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan, restored in 1990; at Casa Italiana, Columbia University, completed in 1996; and at the Brooklyn College library, completed in 2002.

BWB's largest project, a fifteen-story, postmodern building in Manhattan, built for the Saint Thomas Choir School, was completed in 1987,[3] and dedicated in January 1988 by the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury. The firm occasionally designed in a more traditional idiom; in a 1995 survey by The New York Times of the then-emerging New Classical school of architecture, the reporter Patricia Leigh Brown noted that, "Michael Dwyer...an architect at Buttrick White & Burtis...has recently completed a classical-style yacht and an $8.95 million town house on the Upper East Side and is renovating Rudolph Nureyev's former apartment in the Dakota."[4]

The architects associated with Buttrick White & Burtis were prolific authors, most notably Samuel G. White, a great-grandson of the architect Stanford White, who between 1998 and 2008 co-authored a trilogy of the work of Stanford White's firm, McKim, Mead & White.[5] In 2015, the trilogy's authors were given an Arthur Ross Award by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.
