Schneider & Herter

Schneider and Herter was an American architectural firm in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century New York City.[1] It was formed around 1887 by Ernest W. Schneider and Henry Herter, and thrived designing "tenements, flats, and industrial buildings, primarily on the Lower East Side...principally for German-Jewish clients with ethnic backgrounds similar to theirs." The firm favored the Romanesque Revival architectural style.[1]

The firm was founded as Schneider & Co. and designed more than a hundred multiple dwellings in Manhattan, most of which have been demolished.[1]

The main German-Jewish clients were Jonas Weil and Bernard Mayer for whom they designed numerous multiple dwellings. Other work involved German-Jewish synagogues, including Park East Synagogue (New York City). 163 East 67th Street (1889–90), financed by Weil, and Congregation Kol Israel Arshi, 20-22 Forsyth Street (1892), which was later sold to the Hellenic Orthodox Community.[1]
