Name: Henry E Myer

Birth/Established: 1835 Death/Dissolved: March 19, 1881

Biography:

Henry E. Myer was born in Buffalo, New York. In 1850 he was living in Ashland County, Ohio with master builder Ozias Kinney, working as a carpenter. Kinney had commissions for the Ashland and Crawford County Courthouses. Myer began work as a draftsman in 1866 in Cleveland. He formed a two-year partnership with Eugene Holmes. In Cleveland he designed the Ryder Photographic Gallery, Broadway Mills, the Broadway Opera House, and Heil's Block. He designed several county courthouses throughout Ohio. In the 1880 census he was living at the Northern Ohio Lunatic Asylum. He died at the age of 44 in 1881. Myer's career happened before Cleveland required building permits (1888), so there is little evidence of his work in Cleveland.
