Personal life edit
Born 30 March 1932 in New York City[1] to father, architect Paul C. Reilly.[3] Reilly earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Notre Dame in 1956.[1] He served in the government from 1956 to 1958.[1] In 1970, he lived in Locust, New Jersey.[1]
Architecture practice edit
He joined the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1964.[1] From 1966, he served on the New York City Mayor's Panel of Architects. In 1970, his office was located at 393 Seventh Ave, New York, New York 10001.[1] Generally an advocate of contemporary architecture, AIA Guide to NYC (1978), conceded that "it is hard to miss [St. Francis de Chantal's Church, Bronx,]. Perhaps that's one of its problems."[4] The small practice, Paul W Reilly & Associates, was listed as on Broad Street, Red Bank, New Jersey.[5][6]
