The socially turbulent 60s were incredibly smooth and prosperous for A. Epstein and Sons, Inc. This decade saw our firm expand by opening offices both domestically (New York), internationally (Tel Aviv & Paris) and with our first partnership with a world renown architect, Mies van der Rohe, on Chicago’s Federal Center. A. Epstein and Sons continued to solidify its place as one of the preeminent industrial design firms in the world delivering manufacturing buildings for Pepsi, General Mills, and Sara Lee. We also continued to expand our commercial practice through the completion The Abbey, a large resort located in Fontana, Wisconsin, and a high-rise office building for Union Tank Car in Chicago. The 60s also saw the beginning of a new tradition at A. Epstein and Sons. In 1968, an annual Employee Awards Luncheon was held that honored special employee achievement over the past year, an event that continues to this day. Significant Epstein Events
