McDonald Brothers (architects)
McDonald Brothers was a Louisville-based firm of architects of courthouses and other public buildings. It was a partnership of brothers Kenneth McDonald (died 1904), Harry McDonald (aka Henry P. McDonald ?), and Donald McDonald founded in 1878.[1]
Harry McDonald was the senior member of the firm. He served in the American Civil War as a confederate soldier. He later was elected to the Kentucky legislature and died while in office, in 1904.[1]
Donald McDonald graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1873.[1]
Kenneth McDonald died in 1904.[1]
