Alfred Muller and Galveston's late nineteenth-century architectural style (Texas)

One of the most prolific architects in the city, Alfred Muller practiced in Galveston from 1886 until 1896. Although many of his works are documented, it is inevitable that many others are not. Muller's established works were examined for stylistic characteristics, locations, and personal affiliations with the owners. Common features were studied and recorded for buildings attributed to Muller, whether extant, altered, or demolished. Possible Muller buildings were reviewed with particular attention to the same characteristic features. When appropriate, location and personal affiliations were taken into consideration. Thirty-eight entities of established and plausible structures were catalogued in a set of data sheets that include photographs whenever possible. The result is a description of the Muller style, comparisons with contemporary architects such as Nicholas Clayton, documentation of Muller's body of work, likely candidates for future examination, and a compilation of information on his career during his decade in Galveston.
