Chester County Chamber of Business & Industry

Owner/User: Chester County Chamber of Business & The Commerce Center is a reminder to all that historic
Industry and national treasures can be preserved to create new
opportunities for future growth of businesses in and
Location: Malvern, Pennsylvania around Chester County.
Design Statement: Bernardon provided architectural
and interior design services for a new headquarters for
the Chester County Chamber of Business & Industry
by rehabilitating the existing historic farmhouse on
Applebrook Farm. In keeping with the mission of helping
businesses excel, the new 8,500 SF headquarters was
designed to provide businesses with conference and
training centers, as well as gathering space for local non-
profit and community groups.

Having been vacant for nearly 20 years, the existing
structures were in need of significant repair that included
new floor and roof structures. The rehabilitation and
additions were executed in a manner consistent with the
historic character of the buildings.
