Henry C. and Johanna Knab Koch

Image

Henry C. Koch and his wife, Johanna Knab Koch, pose for a formal studio portrait. Henry C. Koch was a German born architect that designed many Wisconsin schools, court houses and other public buildings. In 1862, at the age of 20, he enlisted in the 24th Wisconsin Infantry. By the next year his knack for drawing maps had been discovered and he became one of General Philip Sheridan's topographical engineers.
