Thomas Sully (November 24, 1855- March 15, 1939)[1] was an architect in New Orleans. He was the most important architect in New Orleans at the end of the 19th century.[2] His works include the Hennen Building and Poplar Grove Plantation (Louisiana).

Columns Hotel

He was born in Mississippi City, Mississippi.[3] He was the son of G. W. Sully.[4] He was named after his great uncle, portrait painter Thomas Sully.[3] He was raised in New Orleans and worked in Austin Texas and New York City early in his career. In 1877 he returned to New Orleans and in 1881 he established his firm.[5]

Sully Mansion Bed & Breakfast

He formed the firm Sulley & Toledano with Albert Toledano in 1887.[2] Toledano went on to design several notable buildings in the city.[6] Sully returned to solo practice afterwards and then formed Sully, Burton & Stone. He retired in 1906.[2]

His firm designed a top floor penthouse office addition to the Hennen Building where they designed their office. It replaced a rooftop garden.[7]

He served as the first president of the Louisiana State Association of Architects, a chapter of the American Institute of Architects established in 1887.[8]

New Orleans architect Sam Stone, who went on to form Stone Brothers with his sons, began his career working at Sully's firm.

A boating aficionado, he was commodore of the Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans for two terms, was photographed on his yacht Helen, and designed boats.[9]

Was he on the board of Morgan State Bank?

The Southeastern Architectural Archive at Tulane University has documents related to Sully in its collection.[10][11][12]

He lived at 4010 St. Charles Avenue.[13]
