One built an empire with a Kiss and the other designed it. This is the untold story of Milton S. Hershey and his architect, C. Emlen Urban. What drove these two men to achieve goals and fame beyond their wildest dreams? Why is one an American icon and the other unknown beyond his hometown? Drawn from his new book, Urban and the Chocolate King, architect and historian Gregg Scott joins LancasterHistory to tell the tale of two men who met as young boys in the small town of Lancaster, PA, and began a journey of design and construction that endured for fifty years.

Gregg Scott is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, a partner emeritus and co-founder of RLPS Architects, a monthly columnist for LNP, and twice recipient of the Journalist and Educators Award presented by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. Most recently, the author of Urban Legend, Urban Alphabet, and the 2026 fall release of Urban and the Chocolate King.
