Biographical History
Samuel Yellin, one of the most important architectural metalworkers in the United States in the early twentieth century, was born in Galicia, Poland in 1885. He was trained in Europe and traveled there before he immigrated to the United States. Yellin settled in Philadelphia, where he remained for the rest of his life. He was appointed as instructor at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art, and by 1909 he had established his own shop. Yellin designed and built ironwork for some of the most important American architects of his time, employing well over 200 craft workers at the height of his commercial success just before the Great Depression. He suffered from heart disease for a number of years, and he died at age 55 in 1940.
