Mosette Broderick's Triumvirate: McKim, Mead & White: Art, Architecture, Scandal, and Class in America's Gilded Age, (NY: Knopf, 2010), suggests that McKim suffered bouts of depression, starting in 1878, when his wife of four years, Annie, filed for divorce, alleging "unnatural acts against the bounds of Christian behavior," according to the diary of an acquaintance. Professor Broderick surmises this might have been an allusion to homosexuality.[1]
