Arthur Ingersoll Meigs (1882–1956) was an American architect.[1]
He and his colleagues at Mellor, Meigs, and Howe were involved in the design and construction oversight of bank buildings, the students' hall at Bryn Mawr College, multiple personal residences of prominent individuals, and the United States Coast Guard's World War Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as a chapel at the Somme American Cemetery near Bony, France and a monument to the United States Army's Twenty-Seventh and Thirtieth Divisions between Ypres and Mount Kemmel, the latter two of which were commissioned by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The accomplishments of his firm were recognized with the Gold Medal of the Architectural League of New York and the Medal of the American Institute of Architects' Philadelphia chapter.[2][3]
