Price, Bruce, 1845-1903

Bruce Price (1845-1903) was born in Cumberland, MD, and received his architectural training at the College of New Jersey. He opened his first practice in Baltimore and later moved to New York. He designed houses in the Shingle style, which was so influential in American domestic architecture, notably in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). Price's later work is more varied and not restricted to domestic designs. He received many important commissions for large-scale commercial structures, among them a twenty-storey building for the American Surety Company in New York (1894-1896).

Bruce Price (1845-1903) est né à Cumberland (Maryland) et a reçu sa formation en architecture au Collège du New Jersey. Il a ouvert son premier cabinet à Baltimore et s'est ensuite installé à New York. Il a dessiné des maisons dans le style Shingle, qui a tant marqué l'architecture résidentielle américaine et en particulier les oeuvres de Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). Les oeuvres ultérieures de Price sont plus variées et ne se limitent pas au seul domaine résidentiel. On lui a commandé plusieurs grandes structures commerciales et notamment un immeuble de vingt étages pour l'American Surety Company de New York (1894-1896).
