In 1855, they were in discussions regarding potential renovations at the Georgia State House. They submitted sketches and an estimate for completion of between $125,000 and $150,000.[2] It is not known whether they undertook the renovations.

Fay went on to be a partner with another Georgia architect, Alfred Eichberg, between 1881 and 1888.[3]
