Parkinson & Dockendorff was an architectural firm based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, that was known for its works designed from 1905 through the 1930s. The firm's two named partners were Albert Edward Parkinson (1870 – September 19, 1952) and Bernard Joseph Dockendorff (January 22, 1878 – September 23, 1952).[1] The firm is credited with designing over 800 public buildings, including "many of the most significant surviving Early Modern (1900–1940) commercial and public buildings" in La Crosse.[2][3][4] A number of Parkinson & Dockendorff's works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]

Biographies


Parkinson was born in England and trained in architecture by his father. He moved to the United States and established an architecture practice at Sparta, Wisconsin, by 1897.[6]


Dockendorff was born in La Crosse and was the son of German immigrants. After attending the La Crosse public schools, he studied architecture at the Technicum in Darmstadt, Germany, and with Ludwig Becker in Mayence. After returning to La Crosse, he established a partnership with Parkinson in 1905.[7] Parkinson died on September 19, 1952. Dockendorff died four days later.[7]
