King Architects; then in 1932 it changed to Melvin L. & Harry A. King Architects when Harry King became a partner; in 1945, it changed to Melvin L., Harry A. & Curtis King Architects when Curtis King became a partner, and in 1959 Russell King became a partner — changing the firm’s name to King & King Architects.[2]
The firm has completed more than 40 projects for Syracuse University for over 150 years. The King + King Architecture Library in Slocum Hall at the School of Architecture was inaugurated in 2018.[1]
