Ledner's trio of buildings for the union's headquarters in Manhattan catapulted him onto the national stage, raising eyebrows and earning him accolades for his innovative approach. One of the structures resembles a giant Connect 4 game board, speckled with more than 100 porthole windows and sloping 20 feet from the base.

Susan Langenhennig reports that Albert C. Ledner, died Monday night in Manchester, N.H.
