Warren-Ehret Company photographs

About this collection

    The Warren-Ehret Company was a forerunner in the composite roofing industry, formed in 1883 in Philadelphia and incorporated in 1887.
    This digital collection consists of 179 images selected from three unbound albums (circa 1900) in the Warren-Ehret Company photograph albums (Accession 2002.251) collection. This collection has not been digitized in its entirety.
    The albums were used as sales portfolios to show the variety and extent of Warren-Ehret's roofing jobs on a variety of buildings. The buildings are predominately industrial structures, but the collection also includes offices, stores, apartments and private homes. The collection covers buildings in the greater Philadelphia area and the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York City, and Connecticut.
