Hubbell & Benes was a prominent Cleveland, Ohio architectural firm formed by Benjamin Hubbell (1857–1935) and W. Dominick Benes (1867–1953) in 1897〔(Hubbell & Benes ) Encyclopedia of Cleveland〕 after the pair departed from Coburn, Barnum, Benes & Hubbell. Their work included commercial and residential buildings as well as telephone exchange buildings, the West Side Market and Cleveland Museum of Art. Before teaming up they worked for Coburn and Barnum.〔 Benes was Jeptha Wade’s personal architect and designed numerous public buildings, commercial buildings, and residences for him including the Wade Memorial Chapel.〔(Architecture of Cleveland )〕 Hubbell retired in 1927, but the firm continued and outlived both its original partners. In 1960 it was known as Hubbell, Benes & Hoff, with Benjamin Hubbell's son Benjamin S. Hubbell (1897–1988) the senior partnet. Many of the firm's drawings are collected at the Western Reserve Historical Society. 〔() City Planning Commission, City of Cleveland〕 They designed the Plain Dealer building, also used by the Cleveland Public Library as well as the Ohio Bell Telephone Co. building, an important early Cleveland with modern architecture and Art Deco features.
