A view we're especially proud of!

There's something special about seeing Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 in front of a sprawling building our team had the privilege of designing!

Many years ago, hc architects designed the Roundhouse and Museum Complex at Steamtown National Historic Site, a facility created to celebrate and preserve America's railroad heritage; a national treasure, right here in Scranton.

During Big Boy's visit, more than 50,000 visitors came to experience this incredible locomotive at the historic setting. We're proud that this project continues to serve as a destination where great architecture, engineering, and history come together and is celebrated by so many.
