Roger Harrington Bullard

Roger Harrington Bullard (May 7, 1884 – March 2, 1935) was an American architect.

Early life and education Bullard was born on May 7, 1884, in New York City to Lewis Henderson Bullard and Mary Perrin Bullard.

Bullard was educated at public schools and the Fairfield Institute. Bullard, along with architect Clifford C. Wendehack, designed the model home known as "America's Little House" which opened in 1934 and was surrounded by skyscrapers on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and 39th Street in Manhattan.

Through his wife's connection to J. P. Morgan, Bullard built several houses for the extended Morgan family. Perhaps most notably he built Salutation at Glen Cove on Long Island, which he completed for Junius Spencer Morgan III, which is said to be the inspiration for the West Egg mansion of Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby. Another notable Gold Coast, Long Island mansion he designed was Rynwood for Samuel Agar Salvage, the "father of rayon" in the United States.

He gained a reputation for designing large homes and country clubs, most on Long Island. The clubs he designed included the Maidstone Club at East Hampton, New York; Plainfield Country Club in Edison, New Jersey; Oakland Golf Club in Bayside, Queens; and the Milwaukee Country Club in River Hills, Wisconsin. His private clients included the Morgan family; Samuel Agar Salvage; Harold Hartshorne; Paul Pennoyer Sr.; and Seth Low Pierrepont.
