J.S.
Cornell & Son is a general contracting and
construction management firm founded in 1857 in
Northampton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Later, around 1875, founder John Skillman Cornell
took on his son, John Whiting Cornell, as a partner
and moved to Philadelphia. He lived and had his
office at Twentieth and Diamond Streets for many
years and built some of the once beautiful brownstone
homes in the area.
Up until the year 2000, the firm was continuously owned and managed
by members of the Cornell family. In 2000, Allen and Bill Cornell
(fourth generation Cornells) sold the company to two of their
long time company executives, who had been with the company for
over 24 years. The company has continued to prosper under the new
ownership and has experienced continuous growth.
The goal of our company, as it always has been,
is to provide high quality personalized construction
services with many repeat customers.
