Shattuck and Hussey
Shattuck and Hussey was a Chicago-based architectural firm founded by Walter F. Shattuck and Harry Hussey.
Shattuck and Hussey was a YMCA specialist firm who designed dozens of the nearly 200 YMCA buildings built between 1906 and World War I. The YMCA treated the firm's designers as quasi-employees and relied on the firm to produce functional, cost-effective facilities. These could easily be replicated from project to project and reduce risk to local YMCA building committees.[1]
