The short-lived partnership between James Henry Craddock Alexander Hay lasted only part of the year 1890. Shortly after Craddock & Woods dissolved their firm, Craddock formed a new partnership with Alexander Hay as Craddock & Hay, Architects.[1] Scottish-born Hay immigrated to the U. S. in the late 1880s and may have practiced in Lowell, Massachusetts before and after his brief sojourn to Nebraska. By 1893, he was practicing in New Orleans, where he resided until his death in 1937. In his last decades the U. S. Census and New Orleans city directories listed him as a "curio dealer" or selling books and antiques.[5]
