He founded New York's Society of Beaux Arts Architects, originated the famed Beaux Arts Balls. When he had finished reconstructing the Louvain Library he wanted on its balustrade the inscription Furore Teutonico Diruta; Dono Americano Restituta ("Destroyed by Teuton Fury; Restored by American Generosity"), but pacifist groups killed the plan.
