Katharine Budd
Katharine Cotheal Budd (1860-1951) was a pioneering woman architect who became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1924.[1] She designed the Harry C. Duncan house in Tavares, one of the best examples of the Colonial Revival style in Florida. She also designed the Innis Arden Cottage at "Innis Arden" (now known as Greenwich Point), the former Old Greenwich, Connecticut estate of Mr. and Mrs. J. Kennedy Tod. The Innis Arden Cottage, built in 1903, has been recognized as a seminal example of early Bungalow-style architecture and was the subject of an award-winning restoration by the Greenwich Point Conservancy between 2006-2011. [2]
Budd had been practicing architecture for over 30 years when she applied for recognition by the American Institute of Architects. She became the first woman member of the New York chapter of the AIA in 1924. She designed "Hostess Houses" for the YWCA in the South and Mid-west.[3]
