searching for detlef lineau...



Dear Colleagues,
I am trying to discover if there is a repository out there that has the
architectural drawings or records for the nineteenth century architect
Detlef Lineau.

Detlef Lineau, a Danish immigrant, was educated in Europe and came to New
York in 1848 and established himself as one of America’s leading
architects.  Among his many achievements were the design of the first
example of the French Second Empire style in New York and the introduction
to America of the mansard roof style, typified by the French chateau.  He
also was a co-founder of the American Institute of Architects and actively
participated in its formative years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
John

P.S.  I have already sent an e-mail to the American Institute of
Architects.
