Sturtevant was one of the
original air conditioning manufacturers, predating all current companies except
Carrier.
Sturtevant designed and installed apparatus was used in the first
industrial process application at Baker Chocolate, Milton,MA. One of the
first comfort A/C systems was installed by them at Chicago's Congress Hotel in
1910.
Westinghouse temporarily merged the two companies products lines
under the Westinghouse-Sturtevant label in 1945. In 1954, the entire A/C
business was transferred to Virginia as a separate division.
