Anton Korn Explained

Anton F. Korn (1886-August 23, 1942) was an American architect based in Texas, known mostly for his residences. A large number of the works are in Dallas and in the Dallas enclave Highland Park, Texas. A number of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architecture, and two or three on Galveston Island are even included in a National Historic Landmark district.

Personal life

He was born in 1886.

Works

He designed numerous buildings including several which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Works include:

An amateur detective sorted out that this was Korn's own home and posted that, and the facts were confirmed by someone who grew up in the house and whose family still owned it. And further commented: "It has lots of interesting details aside from the columns that he salvaged from the Oriental hotel. There’s a balcony in the three-story living room he designed for his wife who is an opera singer. When they would entertain she would stand on the balcony and sing to their guests."[22]

Several works in Galveston on Broadway St., which are therefore included in the East End Historic District (Galveston, Texas) (which includes both sides of Broadway St.) The historic district, designated locally in 1970, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and further declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[35] [36]

His Galveston works include:

In "Thoughts on the Contributions of Architect Anton Korn", realtor Doug Newby commented:

Anton Korn designed many impressive homes in Dallas and Highland Park [an enclave town which, with one other town, is surrounded by Dallas] just prior to and in the 1920s. He may have been the only architect of his caliber to have also been involved in speculative homes in this period, maybe even as a partner in a home building company. By the 1930s he was the prominent Dallas architect of significant homes. He designed one of the most refined homes in Dallas in 1933 on Lakewood Boulevard. From 1917 to 1920 he designed houses for Hugh E. Prather, Highland Park; Mrs. Cicero Smith, Beverly Drive; William Bacon], Beverly Drive; Hugh Bell, St. John's Drive; Worth Wimberley, Beverly Drive; Thomas Morrissey, Turtle Creek Boulevard; and Henry Boazman, Maple Avenue. The Beverly Drive property was designed in 1924 utilizing replaned oak timbers from the grand Oriental Hotel when it was torn down. Ted Larson was a renovating architect of 3708 Alice Circle, which was originally designed by Anton Korn in 1924. Korn's Tudor design can also be seen at 4500 Lakeside, 4328 Overhill and 5505 Keller Springs Road. At 4700 Preston Road, on 7.7 acres, he designed the home in a Georgian or Colonial Revival style.[43]
