Early life
Eugene Heiner was born on August 20, 1852, in New York City.[1] As a teenager, he studied under an architect in Chicago, before moving to Dallas in 1877. He moved to Texas the next year, where he practiced architecture for the rest of his career.
Career
He won a design competition and earned a commission to design the Galveston County Jailhouse. He also designed the Smith County Jail in 1881 and Gonzales County Jail. In addition to designing many Texas jails over the next two decades, he also designed courthouses in Texas. Three of these, the Colorado County Courthouse, Old Brazoria County Courthouse, and the Lavaca County Courthouse, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He is also credited with the design of a building at Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas, and one at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas.[1]
Heiner executed various commissions in Galveston and Houston. These included the Blum Building (Galveston), the Kaufman and Runge Building (Galveston), and his best known buildings in Houston: the Houston Cotton Exchange, the W. L. Foley Building, and the Sweeney and Coombs Opera House.[1]
Personal life
In 1878, Heiner married Viola Isenhour. The couple had four daughters.[1]
Death and legacy
Heiner died in Houston on April 26, 1901.[1] He is buried at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston. A marker by the Texas State Historical Commission commemorates his work.[6]
