American architectural firm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hubbell & Benes was a prominent Cleveland, Ohio architectural firm formed by Benjamin Hubbell (July 11, 1867 – February 21, 1953)[1] and W. Dominick Benes (June 14, 1857 – May 15, 1935)[2] in 1897[3] after the pair departed from Coburn, Barnum, Benes & Hubbell. Their work included commercial and residential buildings as well as telephone exchange buildings, the West Side Market and Cleveland Museum of Art. Before teaming up, they worked for Coburn and Barnum.[4] Benes was Jeptha Wade’s personal architect and designed numerous public buildings, commercial buildings, and residences for him including the Wade Memorial Chapel.[5]
Hubbell retired in 1927, but the firm continued and outlived both its original partners. In 1960, it was known as Hubbell, Benes & Hoff, with Benjamin Hubbell's son Benjamin S. Hubbell (1897–1988) the senior partner. Many of the firm's drawings are collected at the Western Reserve Historical Society. [4] They designed the Plain Dealer building, also used by the Cleveland Public Library as well as the Ohio Bell Telephone Co. building, an important early Cleveland with modern architecture and Art Deco features. The firm was also known for its designs in Classical Revival architecture.[3]
A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[6]
