John McComb Jr. (1763–1853) was an American architect who designed many landmarks in the 18th and 19th centuries. Between 1790 and 1825, McComb was New York city's leading architect.[1]
McComb Jr. was born on October 17, 1763, in New York City and was of Scottish ancestry.[2] In 1783, McComb began working with his father, John McComb Sr., a well known architect and surveyor. In 1790, he began working independently[3] and John Jay spoke highly of his work to Alexander Hamilton.[4] McComb would later design Hamilton's home, The Grange. In general, McComb worked in the Federal style.
McComb died in 1853, and is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
