Whitney Warren was partner with Charles Delavan Wetmore.  They designed Grand
Central Terminal, the NY Yacht Club and lots of expensive buildings in NYC.
Whitney Warren was (according to Deborah Nevins) expelled from the AIA for
cheating Reed & Stem out of the credit (and cash) on the commissions that
flowed from Grand Central Terminal (like the Biltmore Hotel), in a fairly
famous legal case.  (I have not been able to document his "expulsion" from
the AIA.)

The Sup Arc Treas was James A. Wetmore, no relation to Charles, Warren,
Heimerfell or Ken Follett.
