Samuel Juster, AIA, (February 12, 1896 – May 1982) was a minor American architect who practiced in mid-20th-century New York and New Jersey.
Juster was born in Romania. He earned a diploma from Cooper Union in 1917. He studied Beaux Arts, Corbett-Gugler, Atelier, between 1915 and 1916, earned a diploma from the International Correspondence School in 1918. In 1956, his office was located at 36G Broadway, New York City.
While earning his diplomas, Juster was Squad Leader, draftsmen and writer for Goldner & Goldberg from 1913–1917; he was a draftsman, writer, and supervisor at the firm of Alfred C. Bossom from 1918-1924 where he met Anthony J. DePace with whom he former the architectural partnership DePace & Juster in 1923.
Anthony DePace left the firm of Cass Gilbert in 1923 and formed DePace and Juster with Juster. The firm continued in practice until 1947 when the partnership was dissolved. Juster claimed in 1956 that the practice was established in 1925 and disestablished in 1948.
Juster established his own company under his own name in 1948, a year after DePace had done the same suggesting DePace disbanded the partnership and Juster was slower to reestablish himself. As the junior partner of DePace & Juster, the multiple differences in dates between Juster and DePace could be explained by DePace taking the initiative in their joint activities with Juster playing catch up.
Juster was registered as an architect in New York and New Jersey. In 1956, he claimed his principle works were an Office Building at West 46th Street, New York City (1928 as DePaul & Juster), plans for a Refrigerating Plant, Hudson River State Hospital, (1948), a Tubercular Hospital, Hudson River State Hospital (Poughkeepsie, New York) (1951 as DePaul & Juster), built by the State of New York, the Yeshirah of Flatbush Parochial School & Auditorium (Brooklyn, New York) (1951); Shaare Torah Community Buildings (Brooklyn, New York) (1954), Traymore Hotel Outdoor and Indoor Swimming Pools (Atlantic City, New York) (1954, demolished 1972). No changes were made in the second edition of the American Architects Directory, published 1962.
