Edward Townsend Mix (1831-9/2/1890) Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Born and educated at New Haven Connecticut, Mix went to Milwaukee in 1856 to supervise the construction of a residence, and on its completion decided to remain in the city. A number of his early works were built in Chicago, planned in association with W.W. Boyington, while in Milwaukee during the 1880's he practiced jointly with W.A. Holbrook connected with the planning or erection of several important public buildings of the period. Among them were the Chamber of Commerce, built at the corner of Michigan and BroadStreets; Wisconsin Club House, formerly home of Alexander Mitchell; the Mitchell Building, Michigan and East Water Streets; Mutual Life Insurance Building, corner of Broad and Wisconsin Streets; the old Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Station, built in 1886; and St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Mr. Mix was also associated with George Audsley in designing the Layton Art Gallery in Milwaukee, opened in 1888.
A few years before his death, he moved to Minneapolis, and his last works in the city were the Guaranty Loan Building, Globe Theatre, and the Grace Episcopal Church.
