Charles M. Nye (ca. 1876- ), Architect
Charles M. Nye was born in Minnesota, circa 1876. He became an architect and, by 1910, had moved to Omaha, where he lived with his wife, Mary, and three children for at least 25 years. Nye had two firms of his own, Nye & Son and C. M. Nye & C. N. Robinson. He moved to Los Angeles sometime between 1935 and 1940 to live with his oldest daughter, Marjorie, and her husband.[3][4][5][6]
