McKim studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before joining the office of Henry Hobson Richardson in 1870. McKim formed his own firm in partnership with William R. Mead, joined in 1877 by fellow Richardson protegé; Stanford White. For ten years, the firm was primarily known for their open_plan informal summer houses. McKim became best known, however, as an exponent of the neoclassical style of architecture, exemplified by many of his later works, including the Boston Public Library (1887), and several works in New York City: the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University (1893), the University Club (1899), the Pierpont Morgan Library (1903), and the Pennsylvania Railroad Station (1904_10).
