Wenner & Chance

 Organization

Biography

Partners Bruce Wenner and William C. Chance are noted in Philadelphia city directories for the 1940s, up to the time of Wenner's death in 1947. However, competing entries in the directories for Wenner & Fink also appear. The relationship between the two firms has not been documented, but Wenner's connection to the Methodist Episcopal Church's Bureau of Architecture surely must account for part of the competition.
