He was born in St. Louis, and educated in the city's public schools. Hohenschild moved to Rolla in 1881, where he established an architectural practice designing public and residential buildings. He was elected to the Missouri Senate in 1896. In 1899 was appointed State Architect by Governor Lon V.
