Ernest C. S. Holmboe (1873–1954) was an American architect best known for his work in West Virginia .
Life and career [ edit ]
E. C. S. Holmboe was born in Denmark in 1873, where he studied architecture for four years.[1] [2] Chicago , where he was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago . In the early and mid 1890s he practiced as an architect in Chicago,[3] [4] Marietta . In 1901 he formed a partnership with Robert C. Lafferty,[1] Wheeling, West Virginia .[2] Clarksburg, West Virginia to open a branch office. Soon afterwards, Holmboe moved the firm's chief office to Clarksburg, and Lafferty ran another branch office, this time at Bluefield .[2] World War I .
After a brief period alone, Holmboe established a new partnership with Guy M. Pogue, who had been educated by Charles W. Bates and been a practicing architect in Wheeling for five years.[5]
After the dissolution of Holmboe & Pogue, Holmboe practiced on his own at least until the 1940s,[6] [7]
Influence and legacy [ edit ]
Holmboe was well regarded as a designer of fraternal buildings, especially Elks lodges. Buildings of this type by Holmboe & Lafferty were built in such faraway states as Florida and North Dakota .
