Shreve, Lamb & Harmon were awarded the 1931 Medal of Honor from the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects for their work on the Empire State Building."Honor Architects For Empire State" New York Times, January 27, 1931, 23.

In 1943 the original partners were joined by two new partners, Harold C. Bernhard {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} and Howard F. Vanderbeck {{post-nominals|list=AIA}}, and was renamed Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates."William F. Lamb, 68, Architect, Is Dead," New York Times, September 9, 1952, 31. Shreve and Lamb died in 1946 and 1952, respectively, and in 1956 two new partners, Stanhope B. Ficke {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} and Harvey P. Clarkson {{post-nominals|list=AIA}}, were addmitted."Real Estate Notes," New York Times, November 10, 1956, 31.. Harmon died in 1958, and Vanderbeck and Ficke retired in the 1960s.

In early 1970 William H. Leyh {{post-nominals|list=AIA}}, an employee since 1940, was made a partner."Notices" in Progressive Architecture 51, no. 1 (January, 1970): 194. Late that year the firm merged with Petroff & Jones Associates and was reorganized as a professional corporation, Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates PC. The principals of the reorganized firm were Clarkson, as president, with Leyh and Serge P. Petroff {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} and Robert W. Jones {{post-nominals|list=AIA}}, partners in the former Petroff & Jones Associates."News of the Realty Trade," New York Times, February 21, 1971, R1-R2. In 1972, with the construction of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan the the Sears Tower in Chicago costing the Empire State Building its status as the tallest building in New York City and the world, Jones devised a tentative plan to reclaim that status. He proposed that the uppermost 16 floors be pulled down and replaced by a new 33 floor addition, which would bring the height to 1,494 feet, taller than the World Trade Center and the Sears Tower.Deirdre Carmody, "11 Floors May Be Added to the Empire State," New York Times, October 11, 1972, 1. The proposal was shelved after public backlash and the poor office market of the early 1970s made it infeasible.Martin Gottlieb, "Why a Taller Skycraper? Because It's Not There," New York Times, August 5, 1984, 6E. Jones was also responsible for a proposed extension to the Embassy of the United States, Paris, which would have fronted on the gardens on the Hôtel de Pontalba. In 1973 this was awarded a citation from Progressive Architecture."Notices" in Progressive Architecture 54, no. 1 (January, 1973): 88-89. Due to difficulties the project was never built.Robert W. Jones, "Paris Recollection [Letter to the editor]," New York Times, March 2, 1980, R5. Major changes occurred in 1974, with the retirement of Leyh and Jones and the death of Petroff. To take their place William A. Plyer {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} and Donald E. Grossmann {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} were appointed vice presidents."Notices" in Progressive Architecture 55, no. 2 (February, 1974): 96.

In 1978 Clarkson, still serving as president, died of a heart attack in his office."Harvey P. Clarkson, 64, Architect Who Served on Columbia Faculty," New York Times, February 27, 1978, D7.

1927: move to 11 East 44th Street
1971: move to 475 Park Avenue South"News of the Realty Trade," New York Times, March 21, 1971, R4.
1978: move to 353 Park Avenue South
