History and architectural features

The original section of this structure was designed by the architectural firm of Cope & Stewardson and built in 1902, for the Lukens Steel Company. It is a 2+12-story, seven-bay, brick, T-shaped building in a Colonial Revival/Georgian Revival style. It has a hipped roof with dormers and flanking two-story, three-bay wings. A duplicate of the original structure was added in 1916, making it an H-shaped building. The addition was designed by the successor firm of Page & Stewardson. [2]
