However, I've been intrigued by story of his son, who worked in his father's office and operated it after his father's death. Cass Gilbert, Jr. seemed to live in the shadow of his father. The most notable works that are attributed to him are his father's projects he brought to completion after Cass, Sr. died in 1934.

Cass Gilbert, Jr. had few projects after that, and most, if not all, that he did have related to his father's work. When he died, there was little note of it in the papers.
Cass Jr.'s son, Cass Gilbert III, a minister, died this year in Bennington, VT. Between these pieces, I think there must be a fascinating, and perhaps tragic, life story.
