Blake & Zander was a short-lived architecture and superintending partnership, formed by two carpenter-builders who independently moved into architectural practice. Blake came to Omaha in 1887, while Zander arrived in 1890; the partnership was formed on November 13, 1890. J. S. Blake apprenticed as a carpenter and builder in Vermont, then studied architecture for two years in New York. He opened offices in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and Des Moines, Iowa, in 1868, before relocating to Omaha. O. M. Zander was born in Milwaukee, and had twenty-two years of experience as a carpenter and builder prior to arriving in Omaha.[1][2] In an 1892 publication, the partners proclaimed themselves the "leading firm of architects and superintendents in Omaha...."[1] Based on building permits, the partnership lasted until 1895.
