Brendan Gill Company, founded by Brendan Gill (1914-1997), is a storied enterprise with a multifaceted legacy primarily in the realms of architecture, literature, and historic preservation. Brendan Gill himself was a prolific writer, renowned for his extensive work as a biographer, critic, and essayist. He spent over six decades affiliated with The New Yorker magazine, contributing a vast array of articles and critiques.

Aside from his writing career, Gill was deeply passionate about architecture and preservation. He was a trustee of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, as well as a fervent advocate for historic preservation, serving on various committees and organizations dedicated to conserving architectural heritage, including his role as a founding member of the Committee to Save Grand Central Station in New York City.

The precise nature of Brendan Gill's "company" isn't entirely clear in historical records, as he is more widely recognized for his individual contributions rather than as the head of a distinct corporate entity. However, his legacy continues through the ongoing availability and influence of his literary works and the preservation causes he championed.

If you're referring to a specific modern entity bearing Brendan Gill's name, additional details would be needed to provide relevant information. As of my latest update in October 2023, this encapsulates the historical Brendan Gill and his enduring impact.
