Gilbane Building Company was founded by Thomas and William Gilbane in 1873 as a family-run carpentry and general contracting shop in Providence, Rhode Island. Today, fourth-generation leaders draw upon the company's long-standing core values while taking steps to ensure the company has a strong and stable future. In its early years, Gilbane was known for building high-quality homes, mansions and public buildings such as the President's House at Brown University and the Casino in Roger Williams Park. During World War II, the firm built large defense projects such as the Naval Station in Newport, RI , and was awarded the distinguished Navy E. Gilbane earned its national reputation by delivering notable public projects including Smithsonian Institute's National Air and Space Museum, the Vietnam War Memorial and the Winter Olympics facilities in Lake Placid, NY. Gilbane has also served some of the largest and most successful private-sector companies, including Miller Brewing Company and General Motors, and continues to build remarkable facilities across the country, such as the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. | ||||
