In the last years of his life, James Tyler rejoined his son in architectural practice as Tyler, Brandt & Tyler while continuing to serve as Lincoln's water and light commissioner. Eugene H. Brandt died in 1918 and James Tyler, Sr. died in 1919, but the firm name continued unchanged until at least 1924.
