Biographical notes:

The elder John Donnelly, who was born in Ireland, was among the most important stone carvers and building decorators of the Beaux Arts period in New York City; he founded his own architectural sculpture firm, John Donnelly & Co., and worked for some of the most successful architectural firms of the day. His son, John, did much of the design on paper and modeling in clay, while the elder Donnelly supervised the actual stone carving, often doing the work himself. The elder Donnelly retired in 1940.
