Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker

{{Short description|American architectural firm}}

Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker was a New York architectural firm.

The parent company was founded in New York City by Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz in 1885. In 1900 he added partner Andrew C. McKenzie and when Eidlitz left the firm in 1910 he was replaced by Stephen F. Voorhees (1878–1965) and Paul Gmelin. Following McKenzie's death in 1926 Ralph Walker, who had been employed for several years with the company, was added as a partner and the name was changed to Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker. In 1938, reflecting new changes in the partnership, the name was changed to Voorhees, Walker, Foley and Smith, and in 1955 to Voorhes, Walker, Smith and Smith.Walker, Ralph Ralph Walker: Architect, of Voorhees Gmelin & Walker, Voorhees Walker Foley & Smith, Voorhees Walker Smith & Smith , Henanan House, New York, 1957 p. 14 Mr. Voorhees held a senior partner position until January 1959, when he became a consultant.{{cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=4682|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Justice Court Building|date=March 1990|access-date=2010-11-20 |author=Robert D.
