Architect, author, and philanthropist, I. N. Phelps Stokes was born in New York, the eldest son of Anson Phelps Stokes and Helen Louisa (Phelps) Stokes. He was a partner of Howells and Stokes, a New York architectural firm whose projects included the design for St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University. Stokes, the author of the six-volume "Iconography of Manhattan Island" (1915-28), was the first recipient of the Society's gold medal for achievement in history in 1925.
