HDB Cram & Ferguson, AIA


2008 Copyright MO&A

Since 1997 I have provided photography services to HDB Cram/Ferguson, a major architectural firm located in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm's current president, Ethan Anthony, recently published a book illustrating their projects from the firm's founding in 1889 to the present. HDB Cram/Ferguson has designed numerous structures in the Houston area, from homes in River Oaks to Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Church in Spring Branch. One of my photographs was chosen for the jacket of their book. The book jacket photograph is of the main entrance to Rice University, designed by HBD Cram/Ferguson in 1923.
