Discover Our Construction Firm’s History

In 1885, Lynn Benning entered the general contracting industry and established C.W. Benning and Associates, Inc. in Atchinson, Kansas. We built numerous government, state, and local buildings for the cities of:

  • Atchison

  • Kingman

  • Winfield

  • Great Bend

  • Garnett

  • Emporia

As the turn of the century approached, we found ourselves doing more work in Oklahoma and Salt Lake City in Utah, where one of our best-known projects was the Symns Wholesale House.

Building Post Offices

Throughout the years, the Benning family and C.W. Benning and Associates, Inc. were known for providing construction services for numerous post office buildings from Alabama to Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Our founder, Lynn Benning, acted as the Project Manager/Superintendent for all plumbing and mechanical work. He also supervised the installation of the heating and ventilation systems of each post office building.
