McIlvain & Roberts represents one of the more successful architect/development offices operating in Philadelphia in the early twentieth century. The firm chiefly worked in residential design and supplemented its success with connections to McIlvain & Co., real estate developers. Like other firms in Philadelphia at the time, McIlvain & Roberts employed the favorite Cotswold and Pennsylvania Colonial styles for residential design. These interests are illustrated in the Henry Doyle country house, Ardmore, PA, which was published in American Country Houses of Today in 1913 (p. 168-169). In fact, their residential designs were popular with architectural publishers in the early 1900s, and their work appeared frequently in the American Country Houses of Today series, as well as in Joseph E. Chandler's The Colonial House (New York, R.M. McBride & Company, 1916, reprinted 1924, plate 125).
