William F. Gernandt (1872-1943), Architect
William F. Gernandt was born in September 1872 in Germany, and immigrated to the U. S. in 1881, when his family settled in Omaha.[10][11][66] He married Leta around 1897, and their son John was born in 1898.[10][11][c] He worked as a carpenter and foreman for contractors in Omaha "and for twenty-one years he worked hard to attain his ambition--to become an architect." Reportedly, around 1902 or 1903, "he was able to leave for the east to study for his chosen profession....After a course of study in which he perfected himself in architecture, he came back to Nebraska and made his start in a new career at Fairbury," beginning around 1906. [66] He moved his practice to Omaha in 1912, designing county courthouses, schools, and other projects throughout Nebraska and in surrounding states. William and Leta relocated to San Diego, California, first appearing in the San Diego city directory in 1926. In 1937 they moved to Monrovia in Los Angeles County, where he died September 26, 1943.[23]

Notes
a. Trenton Building Company (Ernest Rokahr), Contractors, Lincoln, Nebraska.[12]
b. Not found in federal census in Nebraska in 1920 (or in U.S. using William.)
c. The 1900 federal census notes the name of Gernandt's wife as Lizzie; the 1905 Kansas state census lists her as Elizabeth, and the 1910 federal census notes Gernandt's wife as Leda. Probably all names refer to the same woman, as both the 1900 and 1910 censuses indicate their marriage occurred 1n 1897. Later her name is consistently listed as "Leta."[10][11]
d. Improvement Bulletin of March 9, 1907 notes: "Davenport, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt is preparing plans for a church for the M. E. society. It will be frame with seatings for 450. Cost, $8,500."[25]
e. William F. Gernandt is listed in Omaha city directories as early as 1890 as a gas fitter, laborer, and most often as a carpenter, sometimes working on car repair for Union Pacific Railroad. From 1890 to 1897, he shared a household with William Gernandt, presumably his father, who had similar occupations and also worked for U.P.R.R. The 1900 U. S. Census includes in Omaha the household of William and Pauline Gernandt, probably William F.'s parents. They were both born in Germany, married around 1870, and immigrated in 1881. Between 1890 and 1905, Omaha directories listed up to seven male Gernandts in a pair of seemingly interlocking households.
f. Improvement Bulletin of March 12, 1910 lists "Osceola, Neb.--Gernandt & Simpson, architects, Fairbury, Neb., have prepared plans for a 2story brick high school building, 76x87, for the board of education...There will be a brick foundation, press and pavers' brick, Bedford stone, tin roof, metal cornice, d.s. and plate glass, Acme plaster, steam heat, maple flooring, yellow pine finish, boilers, cementing, hollow tile, iron beams, metal lath, plumbing, heatings [seatings?] for 500, ventilators, etc. The old blackboards will be used. Cost $28,000. Bids will be received about April 15." American Contractor of June 4, 1910 notes the school project was "Postponed temporarily."[27][30]
g. Improvement Bulletin of December 18, 1909 notes: "Lexington, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt & Co., architects, Fairbury, Neb., have prepared plans for a court house, 80x88, to cost $100,000....It will be of concrete and steel construction, 3-story, in the French renaissance style, with Bedfor [sic] stone trimmings. Construction will be started at an early date." Fairbury Journal in January 1910 reported that Gernandt was in Lexington “looking after business matters.”[14][28] However, the public vote to finance construction of the court house was not held until 1912 and construction occurred in 1913-1914.
h. In the February 6, 1909 edition of Improvement Bulletin, Gernandt advertised "Architectural draftsman wanted by W. F. Gernandt, architect, Fairbury Neb., one who can letter and trace neatly, and able to do general office work, including perspectives if possible. I wish to secure the services of a young man who is willing to work, and advance, and who is sober and honest. Write at once, giving exact qualifications, references, and minimum salary expected."[57]
Early in 1910, Dalbert Simpson joined Gernandt's practice in Fairbury. The Osceola High School project listed "Gernandt & Simpson, architects, Fairbury," implying that they were partners. However, the business relationship of the two men was litigated between 1910 and 1915, culminating in a decision by the Nebraska Supreme Court that Simpson failed to proved their association constituted a partnership. The ruling indicated that early in 1910 Gernandt hired Simpson, who had previously worked for a Kansas City architectural firm, at a salary of $24 per week. After a period of a few months, the men were unable to reach written agreement as to the terms of their association and Gernandt discharged Simpson, who sued on the basis that they were partners and Gernandt could not discharge him. Two trials in Lancaster District Court found for Simpson, but on appeal the Nebraska Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the lower court on the basis that Simpson's testimony alone was insufficient to establish a partnership existed, finding: "It seems clear that the minds of these parties never met upon any agreement of copartnership." Among the projects cited by Simpson as property of the purported partnership were the Phelps County Courthouse, store buildings in York, Nebraska and Beloit, Kansas, and the school in Osceola, Nebraska."[27][29[f]
i. American Contractor of June 4, 1910 notes that a $12,000 business building for E. B. Woods of York was being "Postponed until fall 1910 or 1911."[30]
j. Improvement Bulletin of February 20, 1909 details "plans [that] are in preparation for a bungalow residence for Dr. H. C. Brock."[59] American Contractor of June 4, 1910 mentions progress on a $6,000 residence in North Platte, Nebraska for Dr. H. C. Broch [sic], for which "Foundation [is] in."[30]
k. American Contractor of June 4, 1910 describes the district school for Helvey, Nebraska as "1 sty. $1,000....Plans in progress; will soon be completed. Frame, asbestos shingles, shingle roof, pine finish, pine & cement floors, lavatories, water closets."[30]
l. American Contractor lists "Business Buildings: 2 sty. & bas. 44x88. $12,000. Beloit, Kansas...Entire contract let..."[30] Improvement Bulletin of August 21, 1909 describes the project in considerable detail: "Beloit, Kan.--Dr. Brewer will let the contract in December for spring construction of a 2-story brick store and office building, 44x88, to cost $12,000. It will have local stone foundation, gray pressed brick, Bedford and artificial stone, asbestos roof, brick and stone cornice, plate glass, acme plaster, hot water heat, maple and tile flooring, oak and yellow pine interior finish, boilers, cementing, decorating, electric lights, hollow tile, iron beams and shutters, marble, metal ceiling, metal or wire lath, plumbing, screens, skylights, storm sash and tiling. W. F. Gernandt, architect, Hastings, Neb."[41]
m. American Contractor of July 9, 1910 lists the Hebron bank remodeling as a $10,000 project.[34]
n. American Contractor of September 10, 1910, lists "Doniphan, Nebr.--Public School; 2 sty. 64x62. $16,000. Architects W. F. Gernandt & Co., Fairbury, Nebr....Plans in progress; bids will soon be received. Brick, stone trim., struct. & archt. iron, yellow pine finish, plumbing."[35]
o. Improvement Bulletin of August 21, 1909 the issuance of a contract to erect a 2-story brick high school for Cambridge, Nebraska, to cost $25,000: "It will have concrete foundation, buff, pressed and paving brick, artificial stone, metal and stone cornice, d. s. and plate glass, Acme plaster, steam heat, yellow pine flooring and interior finish, boilers, artificial blackboards, cementing, electric lights, hollow tile, iron beams, metal lath, and ventilators. W. F. Gernandt, architect, Hastings, Neb."[43]
p. Several published references to Gernandt projects in 1909 list his location as Hastings, while others of the same period continue to note Fairbury as his home. It is currently unclear whether he was considering a relocation to Hastings, had a branch office, or the listings are simply erroneous.(E. Zimmer)[41][43]
q. Improvement Bulletin of September 4, 1909 mentions "Cambridge, Neb.--The First National Bank has let contracts for a building to cost about $8,000. W. F. Gernandt, architect, Fairbury."[44]
r. Improvement Bulletin of May 18, 1907 lists under "Hotels and Hospitals": "Fairbury, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt, architect, has plans for a new hotel to be erected by the Boone Hotel Co. Cost, $50,000."[45]
s. Improvement Bulletin of January 11, 1908 includes among "Mills and Factories": "Fairbury, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt, architect, has plans for a 2-story planing mill, 142x50, for the Fairbury Planing Mill Co. Hollow tile backing, concrete stone face, slow burning construction, gas and electric fixtures, gravel roof, hard plaster and plate glass. Coat, $20,000."[46]
t. Improvement Bulletin of May 23, 1908 reported among "Churches": "Fairbury, Neb.--The cornerstone was laid for the Catholic church. Cost, $22,000....W. F. Gernandt, architect. Ford Bros. Co., Minneapolis, will furnish the glass and Phillips & Co., of Dubuque, Iowa, the pews."[49]
u. Improvement Bulletin of May 16, 1908 indicates "Fairbury, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt has awarded the general contract to T. A. Johnson for five 2-story brick store-room buildings, 80x140, for H. E. Evans. Cost, $16,000."[48]
v. Improvement Bulletin of November 7, 1908 notes that Gernandt "has prepared plans for W. H. Snell, Tacoma, Wash., for double store fronts and alterations to his store" in Fairbury, Nebraska. "The cost will be $3,000. The construction will comprise enamel white brick, Bedford stone, galvanized and copper cornice, plate, prism and art glass, oak flooring and finish, iron, steel and Kawneer sash bars."[50]
w. Improvement Bulletin of July 25, 1908 lists "North Platte, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt, architect, Fairbury, Neb., has drawn plans for the new courthouse, 100x110, 2-story, fireproof."[52] Gernandt was still pursuing the commission a decade later, as the North Platte Tribune reported on July 29, 1919 "W. F. Gernandt, an architect of Omaha, was in conference with the county commissioners yesterday relative to plans for the proposed new court house." The article notes that Gernandt brought along his plans for the courthouse in Clay Center (for Clay County) which cost $275,000, "but the county commissioners informed him that the...levy...would not create sufficient funds for so costly a building," hoping to keep the total cost around $200,000.[62]
Lincoln County Courthouse in North Platte was built in 1919-1924 and designed by George A. Berlinghof.
x. Improvement Bulletin of August 15, 1908 notes that the Hebron school project was "indefinitely postponed owing to some irregularity in the bond election."[53] In January of 1909, the magazine noted "Hebron, Neb.--W. F. Gernandt, architect, Fairbury, Neb., is preparing plans for an $18,000 schoolhouse."[54]
y. Improvement Bulletin of February 20, 1909, describes "Carleton, Neb.--Plans are being prepared for a frame bungalow for E. J. Kelso, to cost $4,000. Press brick basement, walls with hollow tile building blocks for backing, wall ties, artificials stone, gas machine outfite, plumbing, hot water heating, hard wood finish and floors. Will be ready for bids Feb. 23. W. F. Gernandt, architect, Fairbury, Neb."[58]
z. Gernandt's relocation from Fairbury to Omaha is indicated by a notice in the Omaha World Herald of April 1, 1913 inviting sealed proposals for an addition and alterations to the public school building in Tilden, Nebraska, which indicates that the plans and specifications were "prepared by W. F. Gernandt, architect, 513 Karbach Bldg, Omaha, Nebr." A lengthy advertisement for Gernandt in the Sunday World-Herald of October 18, 1914 notes "he came here two years ago."[63][66]
