Albert Wagner (architect)
Albert Wagner (March 14, 1848 – August 24, 1898) was an architect from Germany who worked in New York City. Born in Poessneck, Germany, he moved to New York in 1871.[1] He designed the Puck Building, expanded years later according to designs by his relative Herman Wagner. The building housed Puck magazine. Wagner also designed 140 Franklin Street (1887), a building later converted to lofts, and 134-136 Spring Street, where clothing businesses were housed.[2] He used terra cotta, Romanesque style stone and brickwork, and ornate ironwork in his buildings.
