James MacDonnell (1846- ), Architect
James MacDonnell was born in January of 1846, in New York, of Irish descent. He was married about 1886 to Mary McDonnell. He was an architect in Omaha and South Omaha, but very little else is known about him.[1] A notice published in the ‘’Improvement Bulletin’’ in 1902 stated that he had moved his offices from South Omaha to Omaha at that time.[2]
