Built in 1930 by Irwin & Leighton, the seven-story Temple Medical Building was designed by architect William Harold Lee and was the first major building for what is now the Temple University Health Sciences campus. Situated at Broad & Ontario Streets the building stood for more than 85 years, until it was demolished by Temple University Hospital in 2015. #buildinghistorysince1909 #ourfirst110years

Architect Paul Phillippe Cret combined the best of his Ecole des Beaux-Arts schooling in Paris with an sense of modernity gleaned in the US. In his 1930 design for the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, built by Irwin & Leighton, he advanced toward the perfection of his trademark style later used in creating the Federal Reserve Board Building in Washington, DC. Now known as the Old Federal Reserve Building, the Chestnut Street location was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. #ourfirst100years Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Health

Built in by Irwin & Leighton in 1927 for the newly formed Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Co., this building is known to us today as the Wells Fargo Building. The massive 600,000 sf building remains a strong and proud presence on S. Broad Street. This was one of the last Beaux-Arts skyscrapers to be built in America before the Great Depression. Completed in less than one year and one month ahead of schedule the project contained 2,600 bronze windows, 8,000 sf of granite, 100,000 sf of limestone and 140,000 sf of marble. Movie buffs will remember that the building served as the headquarters of Duke & Duke in the 1983 movie, Trading Places. #ourfirst110years Wells Fargo

From 1919 to 1920, Irwin & Leighton constructed a large complex for Sears, Roebuck & Co. that consisted of a 9-story building that included a 14-story clock tower. The neo-Gothic brick building was designed by George C. Nimmons, a Chicago-area architect. The landmark building of more than 25 million square feet took it's place in Philadelphia history for more than 70 years. It was demolished on October 31, 1994, in a mere 7 seconds. http://ow.ly/ruf130nwNFV

The Irvine Auditorium, constructed by Irwin & Leighton for University of Pennsylvania, a 90 year customer, was designed by the firm of prominent Philadelphia area architect Horace Trumbauer and opened in 1929. Irvine Auditorium is notable for its nearly 11,000-pipe Curtis Organ, the world's 22nd-largest pipe organ. Originally built for the Sesquicentennial Exposition of 1926, it was donated to the University in 1928. #ourfirst110years #buildinghistorysince1909 #110yearsandcounting

Irwin & Leighton built the Victor Talking's Camden HQ and manufacturing complex, directly across the street from the main plant of Campbell's Soup Company. Our work included construction of seven buildings from 1909-1930's. The main building was crowned with a large stained glass tower featuring an image of Nipper, the famous Victor dog, making it an unmistakable part of the Camden landscape. #110yearsandcounting #buildinghistorysince1909 #ourfirst110years

In order to house large helium-filled dirigibles, the Navy hired Irwin & Leighton to build Lakehurst’s Hanger No. 1, a massive structure measuring 961 feet long, 350 feet wide and 200 feet high. The great spans and clear height were achieved through state-of-the-art design. Inside it, Naval engineers assembled the first American-built airship, the Shenandoah. Lakehurst was also the location of the now infamous Hindenburg disaster. The crash of the Hindenburg dirigible on May 6, 1937 over Lakehurst was the 20th Century's first transportation disaster widely captured by newsreel, audio recordings and still photos. #110yearsandcounting #buildinghistorysince1909 #ourfirst110years

In an effort to highlight our 110th year, we will be sharing past projects throughout the year. Here is our very first project! Originally constructed in 1902, an expansion to the Hotel Strand was the first official project for the newly partnered Irwin & Leighton. Standing at Pennsylvania & Delaware Avenues in Atlantic City, NJ, The Strand was one of the many 1200 hotels that made up the grand scene in the early 1900's. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino now stands where the original hotel stood. #110yearsandcounting #buildinghistorysince1909 #ourfirst110years
