George A. Ferris & Son was an architectural partnership located in Reno, Nevada, consisting of father and son duo George Ashmead Ferris (1859–1948) and Lehman "Monk" Ferris (1893–1996). The firm was active between 1928 and 1932, although both architects individually made significant contributions to the architectural landscape of the area.
Numerous designs by the firm or its members have earned placement on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Lehman Ferris distinguished himself as Reno’s first official building inspector and played a pivotal role in developing a standardized national building code. Additionally, he was appointed as the first chairman of the Nevada State Board of Architecture.
