No, McKim is correct. I'm surprised how often it is misspelled on
these web sites.
One of their finest public buildings is the Boston Public Library:

But, as I posted earlier, they also designed the Agriculture Pavillion
at the Columbia Exposition in Chicago...
Their real significance in this section is to demonstrate how
connected Tesla was to the very rich (JP Morgan in this case), having
his "shack" designed by one of the nation's most prominent firms.
