Lackey & Hettel Inc., Architects and Engineers
The architectural firm of Benjamin Lackey and Joseph N. Hettel Sr. designed many public buildings in Camden and Burlington Counties in the 1920s and 1930s, many of which are still standing and in use.
In 1927 the firm published a photographic catalog depicting some of their work to date, and also of their offices. Jeff Brown, proprietor of the Brown-Stephenson Funeral Home in Merchantville NJ, who had been given a copy of the book by Joseph Hettel's son, the late Joseph Hettel Jr., was kind enough to donate this treasure to the website. Once completely scanned, the book will be donated in turn to the Camden County Historical Society.
The book should be completely scanned and posted to the website by the first week of February, 2005.
