Einsiedel, Dietrich

Submitted by Mike Miller Dietrich Einsiedel, architect, has planned and superintended the construction of many notable buildings in New Orleans, business houses, residences and factories, his work being found in all sections of the city and suburbs. His work is of a most substantial and artistic character and he enjoys a large patronage, the fruits of rare professional skill united with business facilities of the highest order. He was born in Saxony, Germany, in 1852, a son of a German soldier, George Einsiedel. He was educated in the polytechnic schools of the old country and there perfected himself in the profession which he now follows. He graduated In architecture in 1874, and until coming to America in 1879 he followed his profession in his native land. He landed in New York city and later went to Chicago, where he worked for a short time, then began traveling, visiting New Mexico and other places. In 1881 he settled in this city and opened an office where he has carried on a good business ever since.

He made the plans for and superintended the building of the Crescent Brewing company's buildings; the Appelie Brewing company's buildings, and built the New Orleans Rice Milling company's building, which are the largest in this country; made the plans for the Swartz Brewing company's buildings; the young men's Canal Street Club house, and a large number of other building. He built the Jackson brewery and planned and managed the building of the Adeline Centre factory of this city. Many elegant residences are attributed to his skill, for during the last ten years he has been largely identified with the building interests of New Orleans. He is a democrat, a member of the Young Men's Gymnastic club and the Irish-American club.
