Albert Jordan , or Albert H. Jordan (c. 1821[1] architect known primarily for his work in Detroit, Michigan .
Jordan was born in England around 1821. In 1852 he followed his brother, Octavius Jordan, also an architect, to the United States . Joining his brother in Hartford , he became a partner in his firm, O. & A. Jordan. That same year he traveled to Detroit to open a western office, with Octavius remaining in Hartford. The brothers' partnership was dissolved in 1854, with Albert Jordan remaining in Detroit.[2]
Jordan remained in independent practice until 1856. That year he made James Anderson, one of his draftsmen, a partner. The firm of Jordan & Anderson lasted until 1861, when Jordan departed for San Francisco .[3] Portland . He continued to practice architecture, and died in that city in 1872.[4]
The firm of Jordan & Anderson was selected in 1861 as the architects of the new Detroit City Hall. Plans were drawn, but construction did not move ahead. When this now-demolished building went forward in 1867, James Anderson was the sole architect.[5]
