The American progressive architectural practice most widely known as Purcell & Elmslie (P&E) was the second most commissioned firm of the Prairie School after Frank Lloyd Wright.

The firms consisted of three partnerships: Purcell and Feick (1907-1910); Purcell, Feick, and Elmslie (1910-1912), and Purcell and Elmslie (1913-1921). The architects were commissioned for work in twenty-two states, participated in the competition for the National Parliament Buildings in Canberra, Australia, and prepared plans for a large institutional church, or Y.M.C.A., in Hunan, China.

The principals of the firm, William Gray Purcell (1880-1965) and George Grant Elmslie (1869-1952) both eventually received Fellowships in the College of the American Institute of Architects.
