Rutan & Russell

Rutan & Russell was an American architectural partnership of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Schenley Hotel, Pittsburgh, PA. 1898.

The firm developed from the Pittsburgh office of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge of Boston, successors of H. H. Richardson. When that firm closed its Pittsburgh office in 1896, Rutan & Russell was established by Frank E. Rutan (1863-1911), younger brother of Charles H. Rutan, of the Boston firm, and Frederick A. Russell.[1] After Rutan's death, the firm was continued by Russell alone.[2]
