Timeline
Select a decade for details
1950s - Comstock performs electrical contracting work on new buildings for these major clients: the New York Daily News, New York Life, the three major television networks, and the Chase Manhattan Bank. The Chase project was important because it helped to create a long-term client relationship and repeat business - two hallmarks of the company since L.K. Comstock's day - and it epitomized the changing energy needs for the modern office building.  
March 1955 - Stewart retires as president. John W. Frommer becomes president, a position he holds until October of 1962.  
1956 - Comstock acquires Emerson-Comstock Company, a Chicago-based firm established by former Comstock President Earle Stewart.  
1957 - Comstock wins a joint venture with Fischbach and Moore, Inc., to contract electrical services in the new Chase Manhattan Bank in the Financial District.
