Stanford White (November 9, 1853 – June 25, 1906) was an American architect.
He was also a partner in the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, the frontrunner among Beaux-Arts firms.
He designed many houses for the rich as well as numerous civic, institutional, and religious buildings.
His design principles embodied the "American Renaissance".
In 1906, White was shot and killed by the mentally unstable millionaire Harry Kendall Thaw, who had become obsessed about White's previous relationship with Thaw's wife, actress Evelyn Nesbit.
This led to a court case which was dubbed "The Trial of the Century" by contemporary reporters.
