Hood, Raymond Mathewson (1881–1934)

US architect. He designed several New York skyscrapers of the 1920s and 1930s, and was a member of the team responsible for the Rockefeller Center, New York (1929). Two of his skyscrapers, the Daily News building (1930) and the McGraw-Hill building (1931), with its distinctive green-tile cladding, are seminal works of the art deco style.

With S Gordon Jeeves he built the National Radiator building in London 1928, faced with black tiles and coloured Egyptian-style decoration.
