All works were in New York, unless otherwise noted.
Equitable Life Building, Broadway and Cedar Street The commission was awarded after a competition in which H.H. Richardson participated. A six-storey commercial building of unprecedented height, it had passenger elevators to make the uppermost floors accessible, the first office building to employ this technology. Additions by Kendall were made in 1898-99, and further modifications by George B. Post. The building burned in 1912 and was rebuilt to a new design.
425-27 Broome Street, corner of Crosby Street. A cast-iron building in Neo-Grec style. Carefully restored in 2005-06.
Goelet houses for brothers Robert Goelet and Ogden Goelet. The brownstone Goelet corner houses were among the last private mansions on Fifth Avenue below Central Park. His mother having died in 1929, Ogden's son Robert W. Goelet replaced 608 Fifth Avenue in 1932 with the Art Deco Goelet Building, itself a designated historic landmark, that is "one giant Art Modernecigarette case of marble", according to Christopher Gray.
Gorham Manufacturing Company Building, 889-91 Broadway, northwest corner of 19th Street, built for Robert and Ogden Goelet . A commercial building with two floors of showrooms and kitchenless "bachelor flats" above, it was entirely in commercial use by 1893, as even bachelors moved uptown. Designated a New York City Landmark in 1984.
One Broadway, also called International Mercantile Marine Company Building,, facing Bowling Green, a ten-storey office building built for Cyrus W. Field as the "Washington Building"; Kendall added four more storeys that gave it a "Hôtel de Ville" roof and a cupola prominent from the harbor in 1887; the structure was stripped of its "Queen Anne" brick and brownstone exterior ornament, which had served, according to an early observer in the New York Times, as "a reminder of old Colonial days." "The completed structure, 258 feet high, was the Pan Am Building of its time, Christopher Gray observed, "a comparative giant, of unique silhouette, dominating one of the most important vistas of New York." The facade was stripped and refaced in limestone for new owners, a shipping firm, the International Mercantile Marine Company, but the courtyard elevation, not visible from the street was left largely intact.
150 Fifth Avenue, southwest corner of 20th Street. Kendall had his office in this Romanesque Revival building, with his son William M. Kendall. It was formerly the headquarters for the Methodist Book Concern, for whose press room, composing room and bindery its penthouse was expanded in 1900 and 1909. A renovation in 2001 restored its pink granite ground-floor rustication.
64-66 Wooster Street, between Spring and Broome Streets. It currently houses The Ohio Theatre.
Washington Bridge. This truss arch bridge linking Manhattan to The Bronx was redesigned by William R. Hutton and Kendall, based on a design submitted by C. C. Schneider that was pared down to bring the bridge's cost to $3 million.
