They designed the Elwood Building at Main and State Streets in downtown Rochester. Together they conceived the idea of a mall chute in the building. The brothers patented the device which came into immediate favor.
When the builders outlined plans for future public structures, they alway stipulated that mail chutes be a part of the equipment and demand soon became so great that the brothers abandoned architecture in favor of focusing on manufacturing the mail chutes.
