High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The New York-based architectural firm of Walker & Gillette, the partnership of A. Stewart Walker and Leon N. Gillette designed and built numerous commercial and residential buildings in the city. Their most prominence commission was the seamless extension, to north and south, of the New-York Historical Society building on Central Park West between 76th and 77th Streets, carried out in 1938, almost the last Beaux-Arts architecture in the city or elsewhere in the United States. York and Sawyer's central block was extended and sympathetically completed by pavilions on either end. Their most dramatic modernist building was the Electrical Products Building for the 1939 New York World's Fair, in which an arch-headed blue slab tower intersected with a stepped curved structure, to house products that demonstrated electricity applied in radical new ways: shaving, mixing cake batter, and home sewing.
