William H. Lord and Anthony Lord.
William H. Lord
editIn 1929 Lord was joined in practice by his son, Anthony, and the firm became Lord & Lord.
Anthony Lord
editAnthony Lord FAIA (February 17, 1900 – December 9, 1993) was born in Asheville. He was educated in the Asheville public schools before going on to Georgia Tech and Yale University, earning a degree in mechanical engineering from the former in 1922 and a degree in architecture from the latter in 1927. After two years of travel in Europe he returned to Asheville. In 1933 he succeeded to the office of Lord & Lord.[1]
In 1942 Lord and other local architects were having trouble gaining defense contracts, the only architectural work available. To try to win these contracts, Lord and five other architects from western North Carolina combined their firms and formed Six Associates.[a] The association was loose until 1951, when it was formalized.[2] Lord was active in the firm until 1970, when he retired.[1]
In 1988 Six Associates was acquired by Ellis/Naeyaert/Genheimer Associates of Troy, Michigan. In 2000 that firm was acquired by Harley Ellington Design of Southfield to form Harley Ellis Devereaux. In 2002 the Asheville office was bought out by CJMW Architecture of Winston-Salem, successors to the legacy of Willard C. Northup. CJMW no longer maintains an Asheville office.
