Description |
7 subseries, 48 items L. Cosby Bernard was born in Junction City, Kentucky in 1890. His parents, William S. and Minnie, moved the family to Dayton, Ohio. Bernard studied at the Cincinnati Institute of Art and graduated from the University of Illinois School of Architecture in 1913. He worked as a design engineer and as an architect in Dayton and Indianapolis before establishing his own firm in Michigan City in 1924. He moved to Hammond, Indiana in 1927 and went on to be a popular and well-known local figure for the homes and buildings he built within the city. Although an architect of mainly commercial buildings, he is well-known locally for his beautiful residential designs and has come to be known as the "The Designer of Forest Avenue." Many of Hammond's most well-known business leaders engaged Bernard for their home designs including the Minas, Kaufmann, and Fox families. Indeed, his architectural style was so recognized within the region that it gained its own name: "Bernardesque." Source: L.
