Mihran Mesrobian (1889 – 1975) was a Turkish-born Armenian who immigrated to the United States and became a prominent architect in the Washington, D.C. area.
[edit] Career
Mesrobian immigrated to the United States in 1921 and became the primary in-house architect for legendary Washington developer Harry Wardman. After Wardman declared bankruptcy in 1930, Mesrobian established his own practice, which produced a variety of residential and commercial work over the ensuing quarter century.[1]
