Who was Roger Bullard?

Roger H. Bullard was born in 1884 in New York City and died just shy of his fifty-first birthday in 1935. But in the interim, he was a busy man.

Mr. Bullard graduated from the Columbia University School of Architecture in 1907. He was architect for the Auxiliar Obras Publicas of the Cuban government, 1908 and 1909. He received an honorable mention from the American Institute of Architects, 1931, for an apartment house in Manhattan, and a gold medal from “Better Homes in America” in 1933. He was a member of the executive committee of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Architectural League of New York, and was also a member of the Beaux Arts Institute of Design and New York Society of Architects.

Putting(circa 1925) on what is now the Wenzhi Zhang Sculpture Garden.

He designed many opulent residences for prominent locals in suburban New York, as well as a number of buildings at local golf clubs, including the Maidstone Club of East Hampton, the New Jersey Country Club in Plainfield, and of most relevance to our concern, the first expansion and upgrade of the Oakland Golf Club in Bayside, Queens....the home of our QCC Art Gallery.
