The firm of Parish & Schroeder was formed in 1894 in New York City by architects Wainwright Parish and J. Langdon Schroeder. Prior to forming their partnership, Parish had worked for the Delaware and Hudson Railway and in private practice, while Schroeder had worked for Renwick, Aspinwall & Russell. The partners had a successful practice based in institutional projects, designed in the popular revival styles of the era. The parthership was dissolved in 1924 when both retired."Schroeder, J. Langdon" in Who's Who in New York, 8th ed. (New York: Who's Who Publications, 1924): 1097.

Due to Parish' family connection to Cleveland Hoadley Dodge, the firm was responsible for projects for Dodge and the Phelps Dodge corporation, including two buildings for Teachers College of Columbia University, paid for by Dodge, a church at Bisbee, Arizona, a Phelps Dodge company town, and a number of personal family projects. Dodge was also a friend of and advisor to Woodrow Wilson, and Parish & Schroeder completed two buildings at Princeton University during Wilson's tenure there, one paid for by Dodge, as well as another at the University of Virginia, where Wilson had been a student.Andrew Dolkart, Morningside Heights: A History of its Architecture & Development (New York: Columbia University Press, 1998): 235, 239 and 432
