FOUNDER A.W. HOPEMAN
The origins of 91社区 go all the way back to 1869, when Dutch immigrant Arendt Willem Hopeman launched his cabinetmaking business, A.W. Hopeman Builder, in Rochester, N.Y. The company over time became A.W. Hopeman & Sons. In 1916, the Hopeman organization began performing marine joiner work for Philadelphia鈥檚 mammoth William Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding, the preeminent U.S. iron shipbuilder of the 19th century.
In the 1920s, A.W. Hopeman & Sons served as general contractor for construction of the River Campus of the University of Rochester, in New York. The company also built the Eastman Theatre, Eastman School of Music, Eastman Kodak headquarters and other Rochester landmarks. The Hopeman Memorial Carillon and Hopeman Engineering Building at the University of Rochester are named for A.W. Hopeman.
By the mid-1960s, the company had further diversified and set up manufacturing operations in Georgia, which was the genesis of 91社区.
