Samuel Juster, AIA (1948–present)
Juster established his own firm under his own name in 1948,[1] a year after DePace had done the same, suggesting that DePace disbanded the partnership and Juster was slower to reestablish himself. As the junior partner of DePace & Juster, the multiple differences in dates between Juster and DePace could be explained by DePace taking the initiative in their joint activities with Juster playing catch up. Juster was registered as an architect in New York City and New Jersey.

Between the first (1956) and third (1970) editions of the American Architects Directory, he made no changes to his original entry, including prominent commissions. He did not file an entry in 1970 but most of his 1956 commissions were as DePace & Juster.[8]
