George Carnegie Palmer (December 20, 1861 – February 29, 1934), was an American architect who specialized in designing Beaux Arts style civic and academic buildings in the United States.[1][2][3] He is best known for his work with the architect Henry F. Hornbostel.[2] By 1904, Palmer & Hornbostel ranked "among the leading architects in the United States."[4]
Between 1908 and 1919, his firm was called Palmer, Hornbostel and Jones and specialized in university and government buildings. A stand-out of this era is the Beaux Arts style Oakland City Hall in California which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5] Other important projects by Palmer in the early 20th century include the Hartford City Hall, the Pittsburgh City-County Building, the campus and buildings for Emory College, and dormitory and fraternity houses for Northwestern University.
Early life
Palmer was born in New York City on December 20, 1861, and grew up in the Borough of Manhattan on Madison Avenue.[6][1] He was the son of Sarah Parker and Nicholas F. Palmer, a wealthy banker.[6][1][2] He attended Columbia University, graduating with a degree in architecture in 1883.[6][1] While at Columbia, he was a member of the Fraternity of Delta Psi (St. Anthony Hall).[6][7]
In 1897, Hornbostel returned from France and joined the firm that became Wood, Palmer and Hornbostel.[2][11]: 26 In this early phase of their career, the firm designed several mansions in New York City.[6][12]
Around 1900, Wood left the practice and the firm changed its name to Palmer & Hornbostel, Architects.[2][4] They operated at both 63 William Street, New York City and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, c. 1899 through 1909.[2][4] In 1901, Palmer & Hornbostel designed new buildings for the Steinway & Sons factory.[14]
The buildings are treated with a simple yet effective use of brick and terra cotta. They are so designed and massed as to be beautiful, while expressing, each in its own way, the purpose for which it is intended. The architect has been very successful in securing to the highest degree practical efficiency in his plans without sacrifice of that character which is usually called the artistic.[8]
Although Hornbostel is frequently credited with all of the work on the Carnegie Technical School, reports in the newspaper indicate that Palmer was on site working on the campus layout and was also the one meeting with the school's committee.[16][17] Because of the hilly nature of the proposed campus, Palmer said:
It was not the exterior of the buildings that we found the hard task, but in the arranging of the area for the various buildings, so as to obtain the best results. We have mapped out the general ground plan for the buildings, according to the floor area required.[17]
In 1909, the firm was hired to design the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.[22] However, only five buildings of their "Acropolis Plan" were built before the university ran out of funding.[22][23]
They also laid out the campus and designed buildings for Emory University in Atlanta from 1914 to 1919, as well as dormitory and fraternity houses for Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois from 1915 to 1918.[2][27][28] With the outbreak of World War I, Jones left to become the supervising architect for the Naval Operating Base in Norfolk, Virginia.[21] After the war, Jones became state architect for New York and did not return to their practice.[21] In 1918, the fifty-year-old Hornbostel headed to France to serve as a major in the Army's gas defense department.[29]
Return of Palmer & Hornbostel
When Jones left the firm, its name reverted to Palmer & Hornbostel.[2] This name stayed in place from around 1918 to 1922.[2] Hornbostel initially retained a home in New York but moved to Pittsburgh around 1921 because of frequent projects in that city.[6]
Between 1918 and 1921, Palmer & Hornbostel were consultants to the Concrete Steel Engineering Company for the design of High Level Bridge in Fairmont, West Virginia.[30] This project was dubbed the "million dollar bridge" when it exceeded pre-bid estimates of $400,000 ($8,102,655 in today's money).[30] The bridge is 1,320 feet (400 m) long and has three reinforced concrete arches and light fixtures with mouth-blown glass shades.[30][31] The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Robert H. Mollohan-Jefferson Street Bridge.[31]
Palmer and Plonsky
Starting in 1923, Palmer was a partner in the firm Palmer and Plonsky, Architects in Manhattan, New York City with architect Samuel E. Plonsky.[2][32] Plonsky had been an unnamed partner in both Palmer, Hornbostel and Jones and Palmer & Hornbostel, working there by the mid-1910s.[2] A modern architectural historian notes, "At a time when white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men controlled virtually all of the premier architectural firms in New York, it is likely that Plonsky long remained an uncredited partner because he was a Jew of Russian-Polish heritage."[2]
One of Palmer and Plonsky's projects was a three-story nurses' home for the Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey in 1922.[32] They also designed a seven-story garage for C. G. Taylor & Co. for the Columbus Circle District in New York City.[33]
Palmer remained with this firm until his death.[1]

Personal life
Palmer married Helen Campbell on June 2, 1892 in Calvary Church of New York City.[76] They had four children; three daughters survived infancy: Helen C. Palmer (born 1895), Sarah S. Palmer (born 1897), and Georgiana K. Palmer (born 1899).[2] In 1900, the family lived at 48 West 9th Street in Greenwich Village with three servants/nurses.[2] By 1910, the family had moved to 65 Miller Road in Morristown, New Jersey where they lived with two servants.[2]
Palmer was a director of both the Morris County Savings Bank and the Morristown Trust Company.[1] He was a member of the Morris County Golf Club, the St. Anthony Club of New York, and the Morristown Club of which he was president of for 25 years.[1]
