William Steele & Sons Company
The William Steele & Sons Company was an architectural firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was founded by William Steele (1839-1908).[1]
William Steele immigrated to the United States in 1846, and by 1864 he was a carpenter and house builder in North Philadelphia. By 1881 he and son Joseph M. Steele had formed a form, which by 1886 they was listed as "William Steele & Son, Carpenters and Builders". The "Son" was pluralized after John Lyle Steele joined the firm in 1900, and "Company" was added by 1908.[1]
