Hartwell & Swasey was an architectural partnership active in the 19th century, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The collaboration between Henry W. Hartwell (1833–1919) and Albert E. Swasey, Jr. spanned from the late 1860s until 1877, at which point Swasey launched his independent firm. Subsequently, in 1881, Hartwell joined forces with William C. Richardson, creating the firm Hartwell and Richardson, which remained operational until Hartwell's passing.
Their practice was known for its focus on Ruskinian Gothic Revival style, notable for its use of multicolored brickwork and intricately carved stone ornamentation. Numerous structures designed by the firm have earned recognition on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
