Nichols & Nichols was a Bloomington architectural firm whose partners were John Nichols and Leo Morton Nichols. The Telephone of March 17, 1913 announced the formation of the firm. Mort left the firm in July of 1914, but the name continued to appear in the construction press for another year.
Works attributed to the firm include the following:
- Leo Morton Nichols House, 722 E. University, 1913
- Bloomington Wholesale Grocery (The Bloomington Antique Mall), 309 W. Seventh Street, 1913
- Kadison Bungalow, 518 E. Seventh Street, 1913
- Marxson Residence, 514 S. Lincoln Street, 1913
- Princess Theatre, 206 N. Walnut, 1913
- 513 E. Eighth St, 1913 (built on speculation by Stacey O. Harrell)
- Karsell Bungalow, 621 N. Walnut, 1913
- Brooks Residence, 512 E. Eighth Street, 1914
- Evans Residence, 715 S. Fess Avenue, 1914
- Benckart Bakery Addition (Gentry Building), 115 Gentry Avenue, 1914
- The Book Nook, 114 S. Indiana Ave., 1914

- Smith Residence, 403 N. Fess, 1914 (no longer standing)
- Rawlings Bungalow, 314 E. Smith Ave, 1914
- Sare duplexes, northeast corner of Eighth and Park, 1915
- Salvation Army, 300 S. Walnut Street, 1915 (no longer standing)
Except for the Leo Morton Nichols House, it is difficult to determine which of the two is primarily responsible for any specific project. But Mort is listed in the construction press as architect for his own house.
