Henry J. Lohman was a successful architect in McKeesport whose name often comes up in listings for that city and other places in the Mon Valley. Father Pitt has not studied his career yet, but a biography of him, which we reprint here, appears in Memoirs of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Personal and Genealogical, with Portraits. Volume II. Madison, Wis.: Northwestern Historical Association, 1901.
HENRY J. LOHMAN, architect, of McKeesport, was born in New Baltimore, Somerset Co, Pa., in 1862, son of Francis J. and Elizabeth Lohman. He was educated in the public and normal schools of his native State until he reached the age of sixteen, when he learned the carpenter’s trade, and was a carpenter and builder for a number of years. He came to McKeesport in 1887, and in 1890 opened an office in the National bank of McKeesport building, as an architect, and has been located there ever since. In the practice of his profession he has been very successful, and has planned many of the finest and best residence and business blocks in McKeesport, and other cities and towns throughout the country. Mr. Lohman, with his wife, and their son, Hunter, reside at 427 Olive St., in the second ward. Mrs. Lohman was formerly Miss Emma Hunter, of McKeesport. In politics Mr. Lohman is a democrat.
