Zantzinger, Borie and Medary
|
Zantzinger, Borie and Medary was an American architectural firm active from 1910 through 1929, specializing in institutional and civic projects. The partners were Clarence C. Zantzinger[1], C. L. Borie, Jr.[2] and Milton Bennett Medary[3], all Philadelphians. Starting in 1905, before the association with Medary, and from Medary's death in 1929 until 1950, the firm was known as Zantzinger & Borie. The firm collaborated with Paul Philippe Cret for the completed buildings listed below, and on proposals for the Nebraska State Capitol and the Liberty Tower in Kansas City. As a young man in 1930 through 1932, Louis Kahn worked for both Cret and for Z&B. The firm also worked with former Bertram Goodhue collaborators Lee Lawrie and Hartley Burr Alexander, among others.
