george m. ewing 3 co. 4 was retained by rohm and haas since 2009 a subsidiary of dow chemical company to design the expansion and renovation of their corporate headquarters in philadelphia . george ewing s son alexander a partner in his father s firm was assigned to the project ; rohm and haas designated their in house architect stanley cole 5 to serve as professional aide to the management committee overseeing the project . during the early stages of design however it became clear that the existing site near washington square would not satisfy the company s needs . rohm and haas worked with the philadelphia redevelopment authority to exchange their existing property for a key site on independence mall just across 6th street from the liberty bell . the exchange was beneficial to the city as well as to rohm and haas because the project ignited the subsequent further development of the mall . 6 in order to ease city art commission approval for design on such a prominent site stanley recommended adding renowned architect pietro belluschi to the team as design consultant . the resulting design was lauded for its respect to the nearby park and historic buildings ; philadelphia s city planners praised the rohm and haas corporate headquarters as a standard for all redevelopment buildings . 7 the experience was so successful that the belluschi ewing and cole collaborated again in the late 1960s 8 on the university lutheran center ; 9 in the early 1970s belluschi then a consultant to the federal reserve bank in washington dc recommended ewingcole for the design of the new headquarters of the federal reserve bank of philadelphia . stanley cole served as project manager until the completion of the rohm and haas project when he joined alexander ewing & associates . cole michael p. erdman 10 and joseph p. eubank 11 became partners in 1970 and the firm was renamed ewing cole erdman & eubank . 12 by 1979 robert cherry 13 and robert parsky 14 had succeeded erdman and eubank in ewing cole cherry parsky ; 15 this partnership continued until 1992 when parsky s departure resulted in ewing cole cherry . 16 in 1993 m. paul brott 17 who had worked in the washington dc office of the george m. ewing company from 1960 1978 rising to the level of partner became chairman and ceo of ewing cole cherry brott . 18 following the death of paul brott and the
