Shreve, Lamb & Harmon were awarded the 1931 Medal of Honor from the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects for their work on the Empire State Building.[1]

In 1943 the original partners were joined by two new partners, Harold C. Bernhard AIA and Howard F. Vanderbeck AIA, and was renamed Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates.[2] Shreve and Lamb died in 1946 and 1952, respectively, and in 1956 two new partners, Stanhope B. Ficke AIA and Harvey P. Clarkson AIA, were addmitted.[3] Harmon died in 1958, and Vanderbeck and Ficke retired in the 1960s.

In early 1970 William H. Leyh AIA, an employee since 1940, was made a partner.[4] Late that year the firm merged with Petroff & Jones Associates and was reorganized as a professional corporation, Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates PC. The principals of the reorganized firm were Clarkson, as president, with Leyh and Serge P. Petroff AIA and Robert W. Jones AIA, partners in the former Petroff & Jones Associates.[5] In 1972, with the construction of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan the the Sears Tower in Chicago costing the Empire State Building its status as the tallest building in New York City and the world, Jones devised a tentative plan to reclaim that status. He proposed that the uppermost 16 floors be pulled down and replaced by a new 33 floor addition, which would bring the height to 1,494 feet, taller than the World Trade Center and the Sears Tower.[6] The proposal was shelved after public backlash and the poor office market of the early 1970s made it infeasible.[7] Jones was also responsible for a proposed extension to the Embassy of the United States, Paris, which would have fronted on the gardens on the Hôtel de Pontalba. In 1973 this was awarded a citation from Progressive Architecture.[8] Due to difficulties the project was never built.[9] Major changes occurred in 1974, with the retirement of Leyh and Jones and the death of Petroff. To take their place William A. Plyer AIA and Donald E. Grossmann AIA were appointed vice presidents.[10]

In 1978 Clarkson, still serving as president, died of a heart attack in his office.[11]
