History and membership Edit

Kilham & Hopkins was formed in 1899 or 1900 by its founding members, Walter H. Kilham and James C. Hopkins.[2][3]: 50–51 [4] Both were graduates of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kilham receiving a B.S. in 1889 and Hopkins receiving his in 1895.[5]

The works of the firm up to 1912 were documented in an illustrated retrospective, "The Work of Kilham & Hopkin: Architects of Boston, Massachusetts" published in Architectural Record.[6] Kilham served as an instructor in architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for several years,[4][5] and also developed a reputation for his work as a painter.[7]

The firm became Kilham, Hopkins & Greeley after William Roger Greeley joined the firm in 1916.[8] Greeley lived in Lexington, Massachusetts, wrote "The Essence of Architecture" in 1927,[9] and served as moderator of the American Unitarian Association, the highest lay position in the Unitarian Church.[10][11][12] The firm later became Kilham Hopkins Greeley and Brodie while Walter S. Brodie was a member of the firm from 1945 to 1970.[13][14] One of the founder's sons, James C. Hopkins Jr. (c. 1914–1998), also became partner.[15]

Firm founder Walter Kilham was an advocate for the end of tenement housing and for the construction of suitable housing for working men.[16] By 1918, the firm "had achieved a reputation as advocates of housing reform and progressive town planning." The firm produced plans for World War I shipyard workers' Atlantic Heights Development in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, based upon their work in five projects already completed by the firm in Massachusetts.[3]: 50–51  The firm's contributions to early 20th century reform housing were the subject of a 1987 work published by the University of Chicago Press.[17]

In 1946, firm founder Walter Kilham published a book on the history of architecture in Boston.[18]

A number of these architects' works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[19]
