Newhall & Blevins

Louis C. Newhall and Albert H. Blevins had a general practice, designing all types of buildings. Their projects were chiefly confined to the Boston area, though they also worked in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. They were best known for their large apartment buildings, which received particular attention in the architectural press of the time. Many of their buildings were based on the model of Richmond Court in Brookline, which was designed by Ralph Adams Cram in 1898. Of these, the Boston architectural historian Douglass Shand-Tucci believed that their Burton Hall (1909) was the best of the many buildings in the Boston area based on Richmond Court.[7] This was echoed by Maureen Meister in her study of New England's Arts and Crafts architecture, finding it one of the best examples of English Tudor architecture in the region.[4] They were also responsible for a number of English-inspired churches in Belmont, Cambridge, Lynn, Malden and Worcester, Massachusetts.[4]

Newhall & Blevins contributed to the design of at least three buildings that have been individually listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, and others contribute to listed historic districts.
