This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  One of the founders in 1826 of the National Academy of Design, Martin Thompson earned a reputation for his architectural skills but also did some waterscape and landscape paintings. He submitted drawings for exhibition to the Academy.
In 1827, he was a partner with Ithiel Town, prominent New York architect. As a young man in New York City, Thompson had worked as a carpenter. Architectural commissions included the 2nd Bank of the United States and the Merchants Exchange Building.
He spent his retirement at Glen Cove on Long Island, and died there in 1877.
