The BABCPHL is excited to partner with the Carpenters’ Company of the City and County of Philadelphia to welcome a delegation from the Worshipful Company of Carpenters in London to Philadelphia this fall. Founded in 1724, Philadelphia’s Carpenters’ Company is celebrating its 300th anniversary this year. The organization, originally a trade guild for master builders and now a professional association of architects, engineers and contractors, was modeled after the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, which dates back to the Middle Ages and is now one of the many livery guilds that govern the City of London and elect the Lord Mayor. Like the countries they are from, the two companies have enjoyed a positive relationship for centuries.
