Legacy

In 1948, the firm was purchased by architects Prentice Bradley (1906-1997) and Douglas T. Gass, who reorganized it as Bradley & Gass. They dissolved their partnership in 1955, Bradley continuing the practice alone. In 1971 he further reorganized the firm as Bradley Architects.^[6] The firm is still in business in Pittsfield.^{[lower-alpha 1]}

Harding and Seaver "designed a great many public buildings in the Pittsfield-Berkshire County area, and did many other private commissions throughout New England and in New York State."^[3]
