Frederick Architectural Firm Assumes New Ownership
Kori Purdum Matheis and John Matheis recently acquired Proffitt & Associates Architects, P.C., the longtime Frederick, Maryland-based practice.
Landon Proffitt founded the firm in 1973 when Frederick was relatively small with a population of less than 24,000–yet on the brink of substantial commercial growth. At the time there was also a growing appreciation for the county's historic properties and the need for preservation services. Michael Proffitt, Landon's son, joined the firm several years later and became a partner in 1981. Both father and son oversaw the design of many commercial and government buildings as well as historic renovations.
