Who was Henry C. Koch?

Henry C. Koch was a German-American architect, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was born in Hanover, Germany. His architectural career began at the age of 16 when he worked for early Milwaukee architect, G. W. Mygatt. He later enlisted in the Civil War where he was a draftsman on Philip Sheridan's staff. After the war he came back to Milwaukee where he formed a partnership with Architect Mygatt until 1870 when he started his own firm.

One of Koch's most significant works was the 1895 City Hall, of Milwaukee. Koch designed buildings for the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He designed 26 courthouses and more than 120 schools.

His son Armand joined the firm in the 1890s and helped with the design of the City Hall.
