Curtis and Davis Architects and Engineers was an architectural and design firm in New Orleans, Louisiana USA.[1] They designed more than 400 buildings in 30 states in the United States and nine countries worldwide. Curtis and Davis was dissolved upon its 1978 sale to the firm of Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall.[2] The firm is sometimes referred to as Curtis & Davis.[citation needed]

In 2011, Kenneth Schwartz, then dean of the Tulane University School of Architecture, stated: "It [Curtis and Davis] was the pivotal firm of the city from the 1950s on. Their legacy is really extensive, not only in New Orleans but also across the world."[3]
