Industry Is Virtue
Why is Robert Adams the architect for a building completed in 1796?
Cornell University Library
Good question! We're going to look into this, and we'll let you know what we turn up.

I work at the estate actually! There's a Robert Adams who was a Scottish Architect in the late 1700s who developed the style that the house was built in, but the house was designed by William Hamilton who lived in the mansion.

Thanks for the information! I'm passing it along to the cataloger who originally worked on these images.
