I visited the grave of Eugene T. Heiner this afternoon.  It's located in the beautiful Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.  Heiner died in Houston in April 1901, at age 48.  He and his wife Viola arrived in Houston from Dallas in 1878.   Between 1878 and his death in 1901 Heiner designed a number of significant buildings in Texas, including 12 courthouses, of which only 6 survive.  I'm going to create a separate page on this website with a list and photos of his courthouses.You can read more about Eugene Heiner here and here.

If you visit Glenwood Cemetery (And you should, it's worth the trip, especially on a nice day.) turn right as you enter (at the security building) and Heiner's grave is just a short distance, on the right.  A Texas Historic Marker makes it very easy to spot.

How many Texas architects have their own historic marker?

    I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as soon as I could.  I'm an architect.  And, a photographer on the side.
    I live in Houston, with my wife, Donna.  After our daughter, Hilary, passed the Texas Bar exam she took the oath as an attorney in the historic Harris County courthouse on Friday, November 15, 2013.
