Century Memorial
As an architect, Edward Lippincott Tilton was one of the numerous distinguished graduates from the training-school of McKim, Meade [sic: Mead] & White. Striking out in partnership on his own account, his firm won the competition for the Ellis Island Immigration Station; individually, the planning of public libraries was his best-known achievement. Tilton was a high authority on the architecture of ancient Greece. He had acquired his knowledge of it at first hand, sharing in the excavations at Argos nearly forty years ago.
