Temple Court's architect, E. Townsend Mix, was born in New Haven, CT on May 13, 1831, of an old New England whaling family. He was educated in the schools of New Haven and first appears in architecture as a partner of W.W. Boyington in Chicago in 1852. Mix moved to Milwaukee in 1856 and maintained an office there until relocating to Minneapolis in 1888 for health reasons. He died in Minneapolis of consumption on September 2, 1890.

Mix designed several structures for Minneapolis and St. Paul, including the Globe Buildings (St. Paul, 1887) (Minneapolis, 1888-1889); the Northwestern Guaranty Life Building, better known as the Metropolitan Building, (Minneapolis, 1888-1890); and "Fairoaks", the residence of William Washburn (Minneapolis, 1883). None of these buildings are extant today. He also designed the Dodge County Court House, Mantorville, MN (1871), which is still standing.
