Sholl & Fay was the architectural firm of Charles Sholl and Calvin Fay which was active in the 19th century. The partnership existed between 1852 and 1857. They were responsible for the renovations of the City Exchange, Savannah Medical College and several Italianate buildings in Savannah, Georgia, where they were based.[1]

In 1855, they were in discussions regarding potential renovations at the Georgia State House. They submitted sketches and an estimate for completion of between $125,000 and $150,000.[2] It is not known whether they undertook the renovations.

Fay went on to be a partner with another Georgia architect, Alfred Eichberg, between 1881 and 1888.[3]
