Finegold Alexander Architects is an architecture firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1961 as J. Timothy Anderson & Associates, the firm is best known for its work in the field of adaptive reuse.
History
[edit]Finegold Alexander Architects was established in Boston in 1961 as J. Timothy Anderson & Associates by J. Timothy Anderson (1932-2001), a 1958 graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. In 1965 he was joined by his former classmate George M. Notter (1933-2007) and in 1970 the firm was renamed Anderson Notter Associates.[1] In 1976 Anderson Notter received the first AIA Honor Award for Extended Use for the 1971 conversion of Boston's Old City Hall to a private office and restaurant use.[2] In 1977 Maurice Finegold (born 1932) became a principal and the firm was renamed Anderson Notter Finegold. In 1984 Anderson retired, James Alexander became a principal and the firm was renamed Notter Finegold & Alexander.
In 1992 Notter, who had been managing the firm's Washington, D.C. office, retired to establish his own practice,[3] and the firm became Finegold Alexander & Associates. This name was changed to Finegold Alexander + Associates in 2011 and to the present Finegold Alexander Architects in 2015.[4] Finegold and Alexander retired as principals in 2021.[5] As of 2023 the firm is led by president Rebecca L. Berry, vice president Ellen K. Anselone, treasurer Jeff Garriga, and secretary Regan Shields Ives.[6]
