JPMorgan Chase's commitment to the 75-year-old JPMorgan Chase Building is an excellent example of preservation that's not only good for the community, but for business. (Photo by Janice E. Ashton) Photo gallery from this project > In 1989, Texas Commerce Bank restored the building in what is still one of the largest privately funded preservation projects in U.S. history. JPMorgan Chase has carried on the tradition, recently restoring the terrazzo floor in the building's Banking Hall but keeping the hollows worn in the marble border where generations of customers stood to conduct their banking business. In 2003, the company also had the building designated a City of Houston Landmark. It was already a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The President's Award recognizes JPMorgan Chase for the company's consistent and substantial support of Greater Houston Preservation Alliance and historic preservation in Houston. |
