Albert Kahn, Inc. (American architectural firm, established after 1902, renamed 1940)
|
Note: Albert Kahn established the firm Kahn, Nettleton, and Trowbridge in 1896. Alexander B. Trowbridge left the firm in 1897 to become dean of the Cornell University College of Architecture, Ithaca, New York. Kahn was left alone at George W. Nettleton's death in 1900. Kahn worked in partnership with his former employer George D. Masson until 1902 and with Ernest Wilby from 1902 to 1918. The firm's work went under the title "Albert Kahn, Architect, Ernest Wilby, Associate". The name of the firm changed to Albert Kahn, Inc., possibly at the same time the firm's letterhead "Albert Kahn, Architect, Ernest Wilby, Associate" was replaced by "Albert Kahn / Architects and Engineers / Detroit, Michigan" with the name of the associates, including Ernest Wilby's. Further research is required to determine when this change of name occurred. Albert Kahn's brother Louis Kahn (1886-1945) joined his brother Albert's firm in 1910 and remained permanently. Albert Kahn, Inc. maintained an office directed by Albert Kahn's brother Moritz in Moscow, Soviet Union, from 1929 to 1932. The firm executed 531 factories there and trained hundreds of Soviet architects for industrial work. The firm's name changed from Albert Kahn, Inc. to Albert Kahn Associated, Inc. Architects and Engineers in 1940. The firm still exists under the name Albert Kahn Associates. |
