Paul Cornelius  Reilly (1890–1984) was an American architect who designed many buildings for Catholic clients. He is also remembered for his design of Manhattan theatres. Early life and architectural education

Later, Reilly would continue to practice under his own name. Reilly's son, Paul W. Reilly also became an architect and worked for a time with his father before opening a practice under his own name.
