Hello group. I found this site by Googling the above name. Lorenz Weiher is my great-great grandfather and I've been trying to locate some of the buildings he designed. I saw the article posted here some months ago "Block That Looks as It Did About 1930" post#102 that mentioned a building designed by him--"One door down, at No. 33, is a rambunctious neo-Gothic loft building in white terra cotta, designed by Lorenz Weiher and built in 1916. It could almost be out of a horror mystery by Stephen King, with its spiky, rather threatening, pointed niches and shields; grimacing winged grotesques; and several hunched, straining figures that could be from an Italian Mannerist painting of the 16th century."
Does anyone have a photograph of that building? from the article I'm not quite sure what the address is, but I'd love to know in general how I might go about researching and finding more buildings that survive by my G-G Grandfather. Thanks for any direction!
