Hide Profile

The architectural firm of Zantzinger, Borie and Medary was founded in 1910 by Clarence Clark Zantzinger, Charles Louis Borie, Jr., and Milton Bennett Medary. Predecessor firms were Field and Medary (1895-1906, Medary's partnership with Richard Littell Field, 1868-1906), and Zantzinger & Borie (1905-10). Zantzinger, Borie and Medary, following the fellow Philadelphia firms of Cope & Stewardson and Day & Klauder, successfully designed residences, churches, governmental, institutional and cultural buildings in a wide range of styles. The partners achieved a high level of recognition from their peers for their Washington Memorial Chapel and Bok Tower projects, as well as for their dedication to the profession. Charles Louis Borie III joined the firm in 1926. After Medary's death in 1929, the firm resumed the name Zantzinger & Borie. Charles Louis Borie, Jr. died in 1943 and Zantzinger died in 1954. From 1951 Charles Louis Borie III continued the firm as Borie & Smith, with Arthur T. Smith who had become a partner in 1937.
