Louis E. Schwend
Louis E. Schwend (1875–November 24, 1900) was an American architect who worked in North Carolina with the firm Hayden, Wheeler, and Schwend. In 1899, Oliver D. Wheeler and Luke Hayden moved their office to Charlotte and brought Schwend in as a partner. He designed the Iredell County Courthouse in 1899, which became a model for later courthouses built by Wheeler’s successor firms.
Schwend was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Max Schwend, a lithographer from Saxony, and Mary Schwend. He died of heart disease in Cincinnati on November 24, 1900, at about 25 years old and is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery in a plot owned by his grandmother, Adelheid Hessinger.
