Early life

James Brite was born in Pasquotank County, North Carolina,[1] the son of George W. Brite and Mary Richardson.[2] In 1870, his father was a farmer, living at New Land Township, Pasquotank County, and James was the second of five children, and the eldest son.[3]

Career

Brite worked for McKim, Mead & White (MMW) in New York City, one of the best-known architectural firms of its time. In 1897, together with Henry Bacon, they left to form Brite and Bacon Architects.[4]

Brite designed The Braes at Glen Cove, New York, for the businessman Herbert L. Pratt.[5]

Brite was the architect of Darlington, a 45,000 square feet house at Mahwah, New Jersey, built in 1907 for George Crocker, and now owned by Ilija Pavlovic.[6]

He retired in 1927.[4]

Personal life

On 18 April 1891, Brite married Aimée Kindersley Douglas (1868–1951),[1] the daughter of Nathaniel B. Kindersley and Hamilton Douglas, in Manhattan.[2]

Brite died on February 6, 1942, at Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida.[4] His wife survived him.[4]
