Albert Buchman (1859–1936) was an American architect in practice in New York.
Life and career
Buchman was born April 11, 1859, in Cincinnati, Ohio. [1] He attended Cornell University, graduating in 1880. He then took a job with the architect Herman J. Schwarzmann in New York. In 1884, he was made junior partner in the firm of Schwarzmann & Buchman. Schwarzmann retired in 1886, and Buchman began practicing under his own name. [2] In 1887, he made Gustav Deisler junior partner in Buchman & Deisler. [a] This continued until 1899, when Deisler retired from the firm and Buchman associated with Mortimer J. Fox as Buchman & Fox. [3] This partnership lasted until 1917, when Fox was appointed a vice president of the Columbia Bank. [b]
After Fox retired, Buchman formed a fourth and final partnership with Ely Jacques Kahn, as Buchman & Kahn. Office manager John M. Montfort was also associated. [5] Due to his health Buchman eventually retired, and in January, 1930 Kahn reestablished the practice as the Firm of Ely Jacques Kahn, in association with Montfort. [6] Buchman died in New York, April 15, 1936. [1]
Buchman was a member of the American Institute of Architects from 1921 to 1929. [7]
