In 1914 he had the following projects in hand: domestic science and manual training buildings, which were the first and second units of a $150,000 school to be built in Menominee; a new high school in Stephenson, with an estimated cost of $15,000; a $5,000 brick business block in Menominee, and a $4,000 house for A. J. Pipkorn in Hermansville, to be finished with cement and stucco.^{2 \u00a0<\/sup>In 1921-22 he designed St. John the Baptist Church in Menominee, now the Menominee County Historical Society.
