- Philip Thornton Marye (1872-1935), known as P. Thornton Marye, was an American architect with offices in Atlanta, Georgia. Marye was born in Alexandria, Virginia, and raised at the family mansion, Brompton, outside Fredericksburg, Virginia. He attended Randolph-Macon College and the University of Virginia before serving in the Fourth Virginia Volunteers in Cuba during the Spanish–American War.
