Francis Kimball

Francis Kimball

Francis Hatch Kimball (1845-1919) was an American architect best known for his work on skyscrapers in lower Manhattan, including the still extant Corbin Building on John Street. Kimball was a pioneer in the use of ornamental terra-cotta in the United States, evident still on the Corbin Building, on a striking row of townhouses that he designed at 133-143 West 122nd Street in Harlem, and on the Montauk Club in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Kimball and Harry E. Donnell were the architests for the Brunswick Building, a 1906 Beaux-Arts style building located on the site of the former Brunswick Hotel at 225 Fifth Avenue, at the northwest corner of Madison Square Park (source: NYC Landmarks). The building was converted in 2006 by ElAd properties into a luxury condominium and is now known as the Grand Madison.
