Century Memorial

Robert Henderson Robertson’s architectural achievement was varied. He built several of the New York churches, the Academy of Medicine, and also a number of the well-known commercial buildings of the modern type. When a young man, his artistic bent had turned to the making of aquarelles, always of sporting subjects, and on his retirement from professional work, when in full vigor of life, he devoted himself to out-door sports; of which he best loved hunting, fishing, and especially golf.
