The Garfield architectural firm.

In 1926 Garfield formed the partnership of Garfield, Stanley-Brown, Harris & Robinson with Rudolph Stanley-Brown, George R. Harris and Alexander C. Robinson III. Rudolph Stanley-Brown was the son of Joseph Stanley-Brown, Garfield's brother-in-law, and had been with Garfield since 1914. Harris and Robinson had been in the office since 1909 and 1920, respectively.

In 1936 the partnership was reorganized as Garfield, Harris, Robinson & Schafer with the withdrawl of Stanley-Brown and the admission of Gilbert P. Schafer, who had been with the firm since 1923. In 1951 two associates, Edward A. Flynn and John A. Williams, were added. In 1955 Garfield's firm celebrated fifty years in practice, and their work was honored in a special issue of Ohio Architect, the publication of the Architects Society of Ohio.

In 1957 the partnership was reorganized as Garfield, Harris, Schafer, Flynn & Williams with the withdrawl of Robinson and the admission of Flynn and Williams to full partnership. Garfield remained senior partner of the firm until his death at the age of 85 on October 16, 1958. Garfield's name was retained until 1959, when the firm was reorganized as Schafer, Flynn & Williams with the withdrawl of Harris.
