Courthouse Architect

From 1895-1910, itinerant architect Andrew J. Bryan had a virtual monopoly on county courthouse projects in the Deep South.  A part-time New Orleans resident who frequented such hotels as the Grunewald, the St. Charles, and the Park View Guest House, Bryan established his office in the Hennen Building.
