A Brief History of Howland Hess, LLP:
On August 3, 1885, Mr. Guernsey Hallowell went into the business of conveyancing
and real estate with William H. Shallcross at 4510 Frankford Avenue. The Shallcross
family was a prominent family in Frankford who were conveyancers. The
firm remained at 4510 Frankford Avenue at the Frankford Mutual Fire Insurance
Company building until the 1950's.
On November 21, 1897, O. Roger Melling became associated with Mr. Hallowell
in the real estate and conveyancing business and in 1924, Mr. Hallowell and Roger
Melling formed a partnership for the practice of law, real estate and conveyancing
under the name "Hallowell & Melling". By 1935, Mr. Hallowell retired and
Mr. Melling continued to practice law, real estate and conveyancing at 4510 Frankford
Avenue for the remainder of his life. Also in 1935, Mr. Thomas S. Howland, father
of John R. Howland, a present partner of the firm, became associated with the
firm forming "Melling & Howland".
In 1949, Robert G. Hess became associated with Thomas Howland and Roger Melling
and subsequently formed "Howland & Hess". Bob Hess remains an active and
valued senior partner and member of the firm to this day.
In 1977 Howland, Hess moved their offices to Huntingdon Valley where we have remained ever since.
Howland Hess has proudly been serving our clients for over 150 years.
