Zantzinger, Borie and Medary was an American architectural firm active from 1910 through 1929, specializing in institutional and civic projects. The partners were Clarence C. Zantzinger1, C. L. Borie, Jr.2 and Milton Bennett Medary3, all Philadelphians. Starting in 1905, before the association with Medary, and from Medary's death in 1929 until 1950, the firm was known as Zantzinger & Borie. The firm collaborated with Paul Philippe Cret for the completed buildings listed below, and on proposals for the Nebraska State Capitol and the Liberty Tower in Kansas City. As a young man in 1930 through 1932, Louis Kahn worked for both Cret and for Z&B. The firm also worked with former Bertram Goodhue collaborators Lee Lawrie and Hartley Burr Alexander, among others.
