Lukens Headquarters
Addressing the needs of a growing business, the directors of Lukens Iron and Steel Company voted in 1900 to construct anew office building. Groundbreaking occurred in the spring of 1902 with completion in the fall of 1903. Cope & Stewardson, the architects for Graystone Mansion were retained for this project. The Main Office is in Georgian Revival style and blends Flemish bond brick work with limestone trim, slate roofing and classical wooden cornices. The original building was T-shaped but became an "H" when an addition by Stewardson & Page was placed on the west side in 1916. The highlight of the office's interior is its meticulously crafted lobby featuring a grand staircase and natural finish, quarter sawn oak woodwork.
