Albert Edwin Kendrew, a Quebec native, came to Williamsburg with the Perry Shaw & Hepburn team at the outset of the restoration effort. He and the talented designer Singleton P. Moorehead were retained as Colonial Williamsburg employees when the Boston firm's full-time association with the project ended. Both men were involved with virtually all architectural projects until 1960, when Moorehead retired. Kendrew, who had followed Walter Macomber to become the Resident Architect in 1934, developed a close association with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and he, along with Foundation President Kenneth Chorley, can be credited with keeping Rockefeller's interest alive. Kendrew, later the Foundation's Senior Vice President, controlled much design from the post-war resumption of construction until his retirement eight years after Rockefeller's death. An era ended when Kendrew retired from Colonial Williamsburg.
