Founded more than 137 years ago, Jensen & Halstead is the oldest architecture firm in Chicago. Like our predecessors, the current principals insist on direct involvement with each project. This management style produces high quality, personalized results and an excellent record of continuing client relationships.

Glenn D. Seerup, AIA
