rdf:langString Griffith Thomas (1820—1879) was an American architect. He partnered with his father, Thomas Thomas, at the architecture firm of T. Thomas and Son. Architecture writer Christopher Gray called him "one of the most prolific architects of the period" (the mid-19th century). The American Institute of Architects in 1908 called him "the most fashionable architect of his generation." Many of his notable buildings are found in New York City. Griffith Thomas was interred at Green-Wood Cemetery, in Brooklyn, New York in 1879. His own marble monument is simple in comparison to the ornate structures he built during his lifetime.
