O'Dell, Hewlett and Luckenbach was a Metro Detroit-based architectural firm. Their firm specialized in schools and civic buildings. Some of their notable buildings include the Pontiac Silverdome, Ford Auditorium, and Oakland County Courthouse.
History.
The firm was founded by H. Augustus O'Dell (1876–1965), Thomas H. Hewlett, and Owen A. Luckenbach in 1938. Almon J. Durkee and Owen Luckenbach's son, Carl Luckenbach (1935–2022), began their own firm in 1962. Their firm merged with the larger firm in 1969, with Carl Luckenbach and Almon Durkee assuming leadership positions. By 1980, the firm was called Luckenbach-Ziegelman, as Robert Ziegelman was brought on as a partner.
