Show o Noted Architect Working at Training School American Fork has had a visitor of notable accomplishments in August Au-gust H. Kirchner, architect appointed appoint-ed by the state to supervise the addition ad-dition to our. nearby Training school. At one time Mr. Kirchner was architect of the School Board of the City of St. Louis, where, under his direction, more than one hundred school buildings were built, rebuilt and additions added. Later with a brother, as Kirchner Kirch-ner & Kirchner, he planned and built the Mining and Stock Exchange Ex-change Building in Denver, and several county and municipal buildings build-ings in New Mexico, Nevada, etc. Mr. Kirchner came to Salt Lake City, to be assistant to the great Richard K. A. Kletting, the architect archi-tect on the Utah State Capitol building. Subsequently Mr. Kirchner Kirch-ner was associated with Scott & Welch in some of their famous buildings. This summer Mr. Kirchner has been remodling the "old" Unitarian Church on 2nd East and has been doing the work as architect and supervisor, attendant upon the "Workshop for the Adult Blind," the latter a small state undertaking. Currently he is also working under "Ware" the Architect, the artistry of whose buildings is so well known, on the Evangelical Lutheran Church to be built at 5th East street opposite op-posite Liberty Park, and on the Parish House of the St. Marks Episcepal Church, Salt Lake City. For years Mr. Kirchner has considered con-sidered himself a "native" of Utah and Salt Lake City, where for so many years he has lived with his wife, the former Alice Koebel of New Orleans, a noted educator. o |
