Richard Wilson Cameron

For three decades, Richard Cameron has led the charge to faithfully reconstruct Penn Station, first presenting his vision in 1994 in The Classicist. At a time when classical architecture was dismissed, he held firm to the belief that what was lost could be rebuilt and made more beautiful than ever.

His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Architectural Digest. Richard has a Bachelor of Architecture from The University of Toronto and a Master of Architecture from Princeton University
