History

Two brothers – Alfred and Oscar – started the firm after establishing their reputation with buildings that still grace Louisville’s cityscape.

In 1964 civil/structural engineer Cass Moter became a partner in the firm. His son, Merrill, now principal architect, joined the staff in 1973 and became a partner in 1982.
