"Richard Morris Hunt provided a professional model for architects at the end of the 19th century. His work, bridging the move from High Victorian to formal classicism, similarly provided models in diverse areas, ranging from apartment complexes, spacious residences for the wealthy, public libraries, collaborative works of sculpture and major art museums."
