Archimedes Russell (June 13,1840 – April 3, 1915) was an American architect most active in the Syracuse, New York area.
Biography
[edit | edit source]Born in Andover, Massachusetts and trained under local architect Horatio Nelson White, Russell served as a professor of architecture at Syracuse University from 1873 through 1881.[1][2]
In the course of his career he designed over 850 commercial and civic buildings in the central New York region, including the David H. Burrell Mansion in Little Falls, New York, a Queen Anne/Romanesque Revival stone mansion.
His practice still continues today as King + King Architects, and is New York state’s oldest and the third oldest architectural firm in the United States.[3][4]
He died in Syracuse on April 3, 1915, and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[5]
