A view we're especially proud of!

There's something special about seeing Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 in front of a sprawling building our team had the privilege of designing!

Many years ago, hc architects designed the Roundhouse and Museum Complex at Steamtown National Historic Site, a facility created to celebrate and preserve America's railroad heritage; a national treasure, right here in Scranton.

During Big Boy's visit, more than 50,000 visitors came to experience this incredible locomotive at the historic setting. We're proud that this project continues to serve as a destination where great architecture, engineering, and history come together and is celebrated by so many.

HC ARCHITECTS DISCUSS DENNIS FARMS RESTORATION PROJECT WITH GOVERNOR SHAPIRO

hc architects’ Principal Ken Ruby reviewed restoration plans for the Henry W. & Angeline Perkins Dennis House Rehabilitation with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro during the Governor’s recent visit to the Dennis Farms National Historic Site in Susquehanna County.

The farm, first settled in 1793 by Prince Perkins, a free African American, is the oldest continuously owned African American farm in the country.

The historic farmhouse, portions of which date over 200 years old will be restored into an interpretive public museum that will inform visitors of the Perkins Dennis family farm history intertwined with over two centuries of national historical events.

Visit the Dennis Farms Charitable Land Trust website at thedennisfarm.org to learn more about this remarkable historic site and family.
