Charles Follen McKim (August 24, 1847 – September 4, 1909) was an American
Beaux-Arts architect of the late 19th century. Along with
William Rutherford Mead and
Stanford White, he was a member of the partnership
McKim, Mead & White. The firm's New York City buildings include Manhattan's former
Pennsylvania Station, the
Brooklyn Museum, and the main campus of
Columbia University. Elsewhere in New York state and New England, the firm designed colleges, libraries, schools, and other buildings, such as the
Boston Public Library and the
Rhode Island State House. In Washington, D.C., the firm renovated the West and East Wings of the
White House, and designed
Roosevelt Hall on
Fort Lesley J. McNair, and the
National Museum of American History.
