              <text>Henry M. Polhemus and Lewis Augustus Coffin, Jr formed the New York-based architectural firm of Polhemus &amp; Coffin. &#13;
&#13;
Together they contributed to a joint publication, Small French Buildings: The Architecture of Town and Country, with 183 plates of sketches, illustrations and photos, published by Charles Scribner &amp; Sons in 1921. &#13;
The firm also designed some apartment buildings and office structures in Manhattan. &#13;
&#13;
Their draftsman George Hickey established an independent practise designing houses with a French flavor, many of them modeled on sketches from Polhemus &amp; Coffin’s Small French Buildings. &#13;
&#13;
An archive of photographs of their residential work in the Northeast is among the Gottscho-Schleisner Collection (Library of Congress). &#13;
