1948-1968

The firm was established in 1948 by Bernard Kellenyi after his return from WWII, in which he had served as a decorated B-17 Bomber Pilot.  Bernard followed in the footsteps of his father Alexander Kellenyi, who practiced architecture in Atlantic City and then Eatontown from 1930 – 1947.

1968-1997

As the practice grew, Kellenyi Associates, Architects was established as a Professional Associate in 1968.  Bernard Kellenyi brought on Floyd R. Scott Jr., a Tuskeegee Airman, as his original partner.  The firm flourished, completing many significant projects including the Grandstands at Monmouth Park Racetrack, EAI’s offices and production facilities, the Monmouth County Jail, Brookdale community College, and the JCP&L Headquarters in Morristown.
