Walter Theodore Krausch was born in 1867 in Philadelphia to Theodore and Emma (Heide) Krausch, both of whom were born in Germany.[1][5][b] His father, Theodore, was a civil engineer who worked for railroads in the 1850s and patented railroad-related improvements in the early 1860s, before turning his focus to the manufacturing of ice, especially for breweries. In 1887 he incorporated the Theodore Krausch Company in Illinois "to manufacture and sell ice machines."[2][3][a] City directories and censuses place the peripatetic Theodore and his family in Chicago (ca. 1862-1863); St. Louis (ca. 1863-1866); Philadelphia (1867-1868, where Walter and his brother William were born); New York City (1870-ca. 1872, where his brother Hans was born); Evanston, Illinois (by 1880-1886); and Buffalo, New York (from 1888). While in Evanston, Theodore Krausch was listed as an architect in 1883 and 1884. Theodore died in Buffalo ca. 1898. Until her death in 1924, his widow Fredericka remained in Buffalo, where Walter's siblings John and William worked as engineers in ice manufacturing.[4][b]

Walter T. Krausch lived in the Chicago area and was associated with Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q RR) throughout his career. He married Clara Ann Shordicke in 1891 and they had a son Paul and a daughter Helen, residing in La Grange, Illinois.[7][12] Krausch designed numerous depots for the CB&Q line, including ones in Beatrice and Lincoln, Nebraska. He also patented several railroad-related improvements. W. T. Krausch died at home in La Grange on December 9, 1930.[13]

Notes

a. Theodore Krausch signed a handsome drawing for a steam locomotive for NY & Erie Railroad in 1855. (The drawing--not the locomotive--was offered on-line for sale in 2018 for $2,750.) A civil engineer referred to as "C. W. Theodore Krausch" superintended the construction of a railroad line from Dubuque to Anamosa in eastern Iowa in 1859-1860, and from Chicago filed for (and received) several patents for railroad-related improvements in 1862-1863.[2] Chicago directories listed "Krausch, W. Theodore" as a civil engineer in 1861 and "Krausch, Theodore" as a patent agent in 1862. Probably all of these refer to the same man--Walter T. Krausch's father.

A reminiscence published in 1901 about early days of artificial ice manufacturing described Theodore Krausch in 1877 as "in those days a prominent and respected German brewery engineer."[14] The Evanston, Illinois city directory listed Krausch's business as "Standard Ice Machine Co." in 1886, the year before he incorporated "Theodore Krausch Company" to manufacture ice machines. After his move to Buffalo, New York, Buffalo Enquirer wrote in 1893 of "Mr. Krausch's Invention. A Buffalo Man's Successful Device for Manufacturing Ice."[3][15]

b. The U. S. Census of 1870 enumerated Theodore and Emma Krausch and 3-year-old Walter in New York City and a 1911 publication on prominent Chicagoans identified Walter's mother as Emma (Heide) Krausch. Theodore and his family were in Evanston, Illinois by the time of the 1880 census, with his wife Fredericka and sons Walter (13), Willie (12), and Hans (9). Presumably Fredericka was step-mother to Walter and probably to Willie, yet Walter provided "Fredricka Wepfer" as his mother's maiden name when he married in 1891, and her obituary listed that she had two sons, Theodore and Walter, and two step-sons, John and Frank.[1][4][5][6][7]

c. Chicago Tribune noted in June 1898 "W. T. Krausch has completed plans for a three-story apartment building which A. M. Anderson will build at 1499 to 1505 Adams street at a cost of $25,000. It will front 75 feet and have a depth of 64 feet, and will be constructed of pressed brick and stone."[8]

d. A Chicago publication of 1911 indicated W. T. Krausch was "Associated with firm, Theo. Krausch & Co., architects and engrs., at Buffalo, N.Y., 1888-91." Walter's father's firm specialized in manufacturing ice-making machines and was located in Buffalo at that time, but Walter was listed in Chicago directories as a draftsman in 1890 and 1891. Perhaps at that time Walter was attending to business on behalf of his family in the Chicago area.[1]

The earliest known specific documentation of Krausch's employment in Chicago is found in a Buffalo, New York newspaper. A social column "Personal Mention" in Buffalo Courier of August 18, 1892 noted "N. [sic] T. Krausch, Assistant Engineer of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and wife are in town stopping with their parents on East Utica Street." At that time the Buffalo city directory listed father Theodore and sons Hans and John Krausch residing at 215 Utica in Buffalo.[16] Walter's connection with CB&Q RR appears to have shifted in 1906. The 1911 synopsis of his career to that point noted he was "with C. B. & Q R. R. as architect and engr., 1891-1906, during which time designed and supervised the construction of many important structures; consulting architect and engr. since 1906." In 1917, American Contractor included an "Architects' Directory." Among Chicago practitioners, Krausch was listed as "Chicago Burlington & Qunicy R. R. Co. W. T. Krause."[41]

e. Railway Age of 1901 described and illustrated two CB&Q stations in Chicago suburbs which Krausch designed. Noting that CB&Q "has generally stations in keeping with the pretty suburban towns...," the journal described as "now in the course of construction at Riverside, Ill., a new passenger station similar to the one in use by the company at Hinsdale, Ill.," which was Krausch's first-known depot. The article also described "a picturesque station to be built at La Grange, Ill." and said that "Both stations will be built after plans by W. T. Krausch, general architect of the Burlington."[19]

f. Cost of Oregon, Illinois CB&Q RR depot was reported as "in the neighborhood of $18,000" and the dimensions as 34' x "over 100' long."[28]
