W.G. Wilkins Company

W.G. Wilkins Co. was an architectural and engineering firm of Pittsburgh. It was headed by William Glyde Wilkins (April 16, 1854 - April 12, 1921).[1]

Wilkins and the firm designed many coke plants.[1]

Joseph F. Kuntz was an important architect who worked for the firm and designed a number of armories through the state of Pennsylvania for the firm, before splitting off on his own in 1921 (and designing more).[2]

The firm is credited in the design of a number of buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
