Born: 1912, Died: 2/22/2004

Born in Boston and educated at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Daniel Kiley worked for Warren Manning in Cambridge, MA, before becoming associate town planning architect for the U.S. Housing Authority, Washington, DC (1939-1940). Beginning in 1951 he maintained an office in Charlotte, VT, but a number of projects with which Kiley was associated can be seen in the Philadelphia area.

According to the Architectural Record obituary:

Kiley helped shape the appearances around Independence Hall in Philadelphia and the Arch in St. Louis and around art centers in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago. In New York, he also worked on the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Rockefeller University and created the famous indoor atrium garden in the Ford Foundation building; in Washington, D.C., he had commissions for the East Wing of the National Gallery and the National Academy of Sciences. For his work designing the courtroom in Nuremburg's Palace of Justice, Kiley was awarded the Legion of Merit, one of America's top military honors.
