HISTORY
WALTON AND MADDEN (1953-1969)
The offices of Walton and Madden were originally located at 3510 Rhode Island Avenue in Mount Rainier and the firm produced both Modern and colonial/classical revival work in Prince George's County. Walton was responsible for the firm's traditional architecture and Madden the contemporary. Walton and Madden evolved from the firm Kea, Ross and Walton, which was changed to Ross and Walton when Paul Kea left the partnership in 1941. The firm became Ross, Walton and Madden in 1950 with the addition of partner Dennis William Madden who had joined the firm in 1946. It became Walton and Madden in 1953 with the retirement from the partnership of R. Webster Ross. Occupying offices at 6201 Riverdale Road, Riverdale by 1969, Walton and Madden Architects, Cooper and Auerbach. (John M. Walton and Associates was located in Arlington, Virginia and the majority of the firm's work was undertaken there.) The firm continues today as WMCRP Architects with offices in Greenbelt.
