Born: 1866, Died: 1942 California architect Louis C. Mullgardt was born in Washington, Missouri and began apprenticing to learn the profession of architecture in St. Louis. By the time he was 21, Mullgardt had left St. Louis to work with Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge in Brookline, MA. He followed that employment with a stint of work for Peabody & Stearns before entering Harvard University as a special student in the fall of 1889. By 1891, however, he had returned to the Midwest, this time to Chicago to work for Henry Ives Cobb. After several years of work in the Midwest Mullgardt made his way to California, initially (1905) settling in San Francisco. By 1906 he had opened an independent office, and he would remain in California for the duration of his professional career. Mullgardt's career was distinguished by his participation in the 1915 Panama-Pacific Internatinal Exposition, for which he designed the Court of the Ages and the Home of Redwood. In San Francisco he also provided the design for the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum (1921).Mullgardt's work was exhibited in the 1909 T-Square Club/Philadelphia Chapter AIA annual exhibition.
