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 two-and-one-half-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.[2]
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]
