Paul Cornelius Reilly (1890–1984) was an American architect who designed many buildings for Catholic clients. He is also remembered for his design of Manhattan theatres.[1]

Early life and architectural education

Reilly was born in New York City and studied in the public schools of the city. He graduated from Columbia University and, early in his career, was chief designer for the former New York City architectural firm of Thomas W. Lamb.[1]

Architectural practice

During the 1920s, Reilly entered into a partnership with Douglas Pairman Hall forming a firm named Reilly and Hall. Mr Reilly’s theaters were produced by this firm. Later, Reilly would continue to practice under his own name.

Reilly’s son, Paul W. Reilly also became an architect and worked for a time with his father before opening a practice under his own name.

Personal life

Mr. Reilly was also closely associated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. He was a member of the Cardinal's Committee of the Laity and once held the post of architect of St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York.[1] His son was the architect Paul W. Reilly.[1]

gollark: Also, is this a *fictional* thing?

gollark: That's quite early.

gollark: Good enough for what? And again, god is omnipotent; it is entirely possible to know the answer without actually creating a world and having people do things and then *torturing them* because they were unlucky enough to get a bad environment.

gollark: What is being tested? *Why*?
