Edward Brodhead Green (1855–1950), very often referred to as E. B. Green, was a major American architect from New York State.
He was born in Utica, NY. He attended Cornell University, and moved to Buffalo, NY in 1881, where he was active through about 1930. His work left a lasting impression on the city of Buffalo, and it includes such noteworthy structures as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Young Men's Christian Association Central Building, and Twentieth Century Club (1894); all three listed on the National Register of Historic Places. His public buildings include the Buffalo Savings Bank, Market Arcade, the Buffalo Crematory, and South Park High School, The First Presbyterian Church, Kibler High School, Tonawanda Municipal Building, and Dayton Art Institute (1930) among others. He also designed and built many private residences, including the Charles W. Goodyear Residence, the Granger Mansion, and his own residence at 180 Summer Street, which is not visible from the road. During his 72-year career, he designed more than 370 major structures. More than 160 of his Buffalo buildings survive today. Green died in Buffalo in 1950, and is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery.
