The brothers were sons of Richard Morris Hunt, the first American Beaux-Arts architect. Richard practiced in his father's office until the elder Hunt died in 1895, then continued to carry out his father's designs for the central block of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[2] not without initial resistance by the museum's trustees.[3] In 1901, the brothers formed a partnership[4] that lasted until Joseph's death in 1924.[5]
