| '''Shreve, Lamb, and Harmon''' was the [[architect|architectural firm]] best known for the 1931 [[Empire State Building]], the tallest building in the world at that time.
| |
| | |
| The firm was formed in 1924 as '''Shreve & Lamb''', a partnership of the Canadian [[Richmond Shreve|Richmond Harold ("R.H.") Shreve]] and [[William F. Lamb]] from Brooklyn, in which Shreve was the businessman and organiser, and Lamb was the designer. The two had met while working at [[Carrère & Hastings]], and in 1920 formed the successor firm of Carrère & Hastings, Shreve & Lamb. In 1929 [[Arthur Loomis Harmon]] from Chicago joined Shreve & Lamb, and the firm became Shreve, Lamb & Harmon.<ref>Klose, Oliivia.

| When Harmon came into the partnership, the Empire State Building was already underway. In their first meeting with the client [[John J. Raskob|John Jacob Raskob]], Lamb asked Raskob about his vision for the building. Raskob stood a pencil on end and said, "How high can you make it so that it won't fall down?"
