Biographical History
Architect, variously a partner in the firms of Howell, Stokes, & Hornbostel, Palmer & Hornbostel, and Palmer, Hornbostel & Jones; practiced independently; and had an association with Eric Fisher Wood. Hornbostel developed a highly personal Beaux Arts manner of design and was renowned for winning numerous architectural competitions and for his rendering ability. Hornbostel began work in Pittsburgh in 1904 when he won the competition for design of the campus that is now Carnegie Mellon University. As the founder of the Carnegie Tech Department of Architecture and as architect for numerous prominent Pittsburgh buildings Hornbostel played an important role in shaping Pittsburgh's architectural image in the first decades of the 20th century. Hornbostel's practice was national in scope, however. He was architectural consultant for bridges in New York City; designed government buildings in Pittsburgh, Albany, N.Y. and Oakland, Calif.; and planned university campuses at Carnegie Tech, Emory, and Northwestern.
