Herman J. Schwarzmann (1846, Munich, Kingdom of Bavaria – 1891, New York City[1]), also known as Hermann J. Schwarzmann or H. J. Schwarzmann,[2] was a German-born American architect who practiced in Philadelphia and later in New York City.

Early life

Before emigrating to the United States in 1868,[3] Schwarzmann graduated from the Royal Military Academy in Munich, and was commissioned a lieutenant in the Bavarian Army.[1]

Schwarzmann began working for the Fairmount Park Commission in 1869, and in 1873[3] worked on landscaping the grounds of the Philadelphia Zoo.[4] He was the chief architect for the Centennial Exposition of 1876, designing Memorial Hall, Horticultural Hall, and other buildings.[4]

Beginning in 1876, Schwarzmann attempted to go into private architectural practice, but was unsuccessful in Philadelphia.[3]
