Career
Career
Eugene R. Liebert was born in Berlin in 1866. He emigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1883, where he found work with a relative in the Trostel & Gallun tannery. The next year, Liebert took a position as a draftsman with Henry C. Koch. When Herman Schnetzky left Koch's office to start his own architectural firm, Liebert followed him as his foreman. In 1891, Liebert was admitted as a partner. Liebert left to form his own architectural office in 1897. Liebert was a popular choice among Milwaukee Germans, and his work strongly reflects his German heritage.
