Architects John Merven Carrère and Thomas Hastings met as draftsmen in the office of McKim, Mead & White and later formed their own partnership. New York Public is one of their finest buildings and one of the country’s great Beaux-Arts libraries. Carrère was tragically killed in a traffic accident shortly before the library was completed. He was a member of the AIA board of directors at the time.
