Talk:G. A. Hanssen

development
Hey, coverage of Hanssen including about their NRHP works was asked about at wt:NRHP. then it was requested that discussion be moved to here. Fine/okay with that. Here are details posted already:
 * (begin of quote from wt:NRHP)
 * Hi Zigzig20s. Besides the Yuma County Courthouse, in Yuma, Arizona, which you already identified (which is also associated with / credited to Ralph Swearingen), he is associated with four more NRHP listings (with attribution as appears in NRIS):
 * Buffalo High School, 326 E 4th St. Buffalo, IA (Hanssen, Gustav)
 * John C. Schricker House, 1446 Clay St. Davenport, IA (Hanssen, Gustav)
 * E. A. Shaw House, 1102 College Ave. Davenport, IA (Hanssen, Gustave A.)
 * One or more works in Oak Lane Historic District, Oak Lane between High and Locust Sts. Davenport, IA (Hanssen, Gustav)


 * The above was from running this search using the http://elkman.net/nrhp/'s "Query by architect". Checking also for any having a likely spelling variation in NRIS, I see there are some other "Hansen" sites in Iowa, but these appear not to be related.  These are:
 * John D. Bush House, 219 N. Kilworth Exira, IA (Hansen, Jens Uriah)
 * Floyd County Court House, 101 S. Main St. Charles City, IA (Hansen & Waggoner)
 * Immanuel Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, W. Second St., E. side Kimballton, IA (Hansen, Niels)
 * John Peirce House, 2901 Jackson St. Sioux City, IA (Hansen Bros.)
 * Surf Ballroom, 460 N Shore Dr Clear Lake, IA (Hansen and Waggoner)
 * Wagner-Mozart Music Hall, 1st NE. and Delaware Ave. Mason City, IA (Hansen & Waggoner)
 * Hope this helps. --Doncram (talk) 07:16, 5 February 2019 (UTC)


 * P.S. Also the John C. Schricker House article says Hanssen "was also responsible for the rectory at Sacred Heart Cathedral and the Central Fire Station". And perhaps the NRHP documents provide more, e.g. the Buffalo school one mentions his opening his Davenport office around 1890, and about two draftsmen/architects he worked with, etc. --Doncram (talk) 07:34, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
