James Edward Flanders, Architect 1849-1928

"James Edward Flanders' early contributions to the architecture of the southwest were a fulfillment of the needs of a people settling a country.  Many were grand buildings for the time and the place.  He worked in many styles and his output was prolific.  Although a complete listing of his works is impossible to reconstruct, it would not be unreasonable to suggest that Flanders designed in excess of 300 structures."  Jim Willis
