Today would have been the 93rd birthday of Lee Harris Pomeroy (1932 to 2018), the visionary New York architect who quite literally reshaped the city millions of us ride through every day.

Born November 19, 1932, in Brooklyn to a Jewish family, Lee grew up with the subway as his backyard playground. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1955 and his Master of Architecture from Yale in 1961. In 1964 he founded what became Lee Harris Pomeroy Architects (today LHP Architects), a firm that specialized in breathing new life into old bones.

He pioneered adaptive reuse long before it was fashionable. His 1963 conversion of a 19th century candy factory in Brooklyn Heights into artists’ lofts helped spark the entire historic preservation movement in New York. In the 1980s he fought to save Broadway’s historic theaters, helping create the special Theater District zoning that preserved gems like the Helen Hayes and Morosco while still allowing Times Square to grow.

But his most visible legacy is underground. Over three decades his firm restored and modernized dozens of New York City subway stations: Union Square, Bleecker Street, Fulton Street, 66th Street Lincoln Center, DeKalb Avenue, East 180th Street in the Bronx, and many more. He brought back original mosaics, terra cotta, and brass details while adding light, accessibility, and art (including the glowing honeycomb installation by Leo Villareal at Bleecker Street). As the MTA’s Sandra Bloodworth said, Lee was “the quintessential New York City architect” who understood that public space belongs to everyone.

Married for over fifty years to the groundbreaking classics scholar Sarah B. Pomeroy, Lee was a proud Jew whose later projects often drew on Jewish history and tradition. He passed away on February 18, 2018, at age 85, but every time the train pulls into one of his stations, a little piece of his thoughtful, humane vision is still there.

Thank you, Lee Harris Pomeroy, for making New York more beautiful, one tile at a time.
