Encyclopedia
HLW is an international architecture and design consultancy, with headquarters in New York City
, with offices in Los Angeles, London and Shanghai. It is one of the oldest surviving architectural firm
s in the United States, tracing its beginnings to 1885 in New York.
. Eidlitz was the son of noted architect and a founder of the American Institute of Architects
Leopold Eidlitz
and nephew of Marc Eidlitz
, a major New York builder. The commission began the firm’s long association with what was to become the New York Telephone Company and, later, Verizon.
Works as C.L.W. Eidlitz:
In 1905, the firm designed one of New York’s first and most famous skyscrapers, The New York Times Building on the site then renamed Times Square
in its honor. The task was complicated by the simultaneous construction of a subway at the building’s foundation.
Works as Eidlitz & McKenzie:
(1922), the South Brooklyn Savings Bank (1924) and the Brooklyn Municipal Building (1924).
Works as McKenzie, Voorhees, Gmelin, and Walker:
.
For the next decade, the design and construction of a series of skyscrapers began at the firm with the hiring of Ralph T. Walker. Notable structures such as the Barclay-Vesey Building, the Western Union Building (at 60 Hudson Street (New York City) in Manhattan and is today a central technical facility for over 100 telecom companies); Salvation Army Headquarters (New York City) (completed in 1930 and remaining as the Salvation Army’s headquarters today) and, in 1931, the 50-story Irving Trust Headquarters Building at One Wall Street in Lower Manhattan were all completed.
During the Great Depression
Walker and Voorhees worked on the 1933 Century of Progress
International Exposition in Chicago and the 1939 New York World's Fair
. The firm's Petroleum Industries Pavilion (1939) was critically well-received.
Works as Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker:
During World War II, the firm’s contribution to the war effort began with a commission to design Army Air Corps
bases in Trinidad
. Laboratories geared to defense follow, along with structures at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
and facilities necessary for the transport of heavy military equipment.
In 1941, the first phase of the new Bell Telephone Laboratories was completed on 250 acres (1 km²) at Murray Hill, New Jersey
. The project introduced the flexible-modular approach to laboratory design, demonstrating an efficient use of space and accommodating 6,000 scientists, engineers, and administrators dedicated to the study of sound and sound transmission. Bell Labs foreshadowed the subsequent postwar movement of research labs from converted manufacturing plants to separate facilities in suburban locations.
During this period, Benjamin Lane Smith, one of the firm’s chief designers, became a partner; however the firm’s name remained Voorhees, Walker, Foley & Smith.
Projects of note during this period included Argonne National Laboratory
(the research center for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Lemont, Illinois
) and the Savannah River Plant in Aiken, South Carolina
which was built on a site larger than the entire island of Manhattan.

Works as Voorhees, Walker, Smith, Smith & Haines:
With the celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary in the early 1960s the firm began to expand its operations internationally. At the same time, the office continued to design extensive testing and research facilities for both private and government clients within the United States. One notable example of this work was the Goddard Space Flight Center
, a multi-building project for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was completed in 1965 to implement President John F. Kennedy
’s commitment to put a man on the moon. With the retirements of Benjamin Lane Smith in 1966 and Perry Coke Smith in 1968, the Smith names were dropped from the firm of Haines, Lundberg Waehler.

and Saudi Arabia
.
In 1982, the first Midtown Manhattan office of the U.S. Trust Corporation
was restored by the firm to the original 1896 design by McKim Mead and White, while accommodating the requirements of a 1980s office. HLW won awards from the New York Landmarks Conservancy
, the Building Owners and Managers Association
, and the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America. In 1983, significant modifications were made for the existing Chemical Bank World Headquarters at 277 Park Avenue
in Manhattan. This design included the enclosure of an existing plaza to create Chemcourt, which provided the city with a park-like enclosed space.
Exactly 100 years after the firm’s beginning with a commission to design the first telephone building in New York, a new project for NYNEX Corporation was initiated, as was a training center for The Travelers Insurance Companies in Hartford, Connecticut
.
In the decades since HLW’s 100th anniversary, the firm has extended to broadcast, film and television industries. For Fox Studios in Los Angeles
, HLW created a 50 acres (202,343 m²) campus that housed the first fully digital network broadcast center. The project incorporated several buildings, creative site/landscape design and over 1000000 square feet (92,903 m²) of historical renovations. And when Avon Products
hired the firm to design a new global research and design center, HLW relocated the company's from its old space into its new 227500 square feet (21,135.4 m²) facility in New York. Additional examples of the company's recent work for the United Nations
