“No matter how grand the house, it is first and foremost a stage on which real human beings play out their lives.”

FROM THE FORWARD OF
American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer
The Benson Room, Union League of Philadelphia (James Fraser, 1865)
Because it expresses refinement and quality, the dining room of this venerable 19th century private club is in constant demand. As such, it required careful attention to the durability and practicality of materials to maintain historic accuracy in its style and the appearance of luxury. Originally designed by James Fraser in 1865, the new environment achieves a unique aesthetic statement compatible with this grand landmark building.
