William F. Gernandt (September 1872-September 26, 1943.[1])was a German-born architect who was based in Nebraska. He designed a number of courthouses and other buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
He was born in September 1872 in Germany, and in 1881 came with his family to the United States, specifically to Omaha, Nebraska. He was a builder in Marysville, Kansas, during 1903-1906, and apparently "later embellished this period, describing it as: '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.'" He then practiced as an architect in Fairbury, Nebraska during 1906 to 1912, and then in Omaha during 1912 to at least 1924. He and his wife moved to San Diego, California by 1926 and to Monrovia, California in 1937. He died there in 1943.[1]
