Theodore Link

Theodore Link

Theodore C. Link, FAIA, (March 17, 1850 - November 12, 1923) was a German-American architect.

He was born in Germany, and received his education in England and France, moving to St. Louis in 1873 to work for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad company. In 1875, St. Louis Surveyor Julius Pitzman recommended him to the job of superintendent of public parks for St. Louis, and after a four-year interim as a German-language newspaper publisher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Link returned to St. Louis as one of the architects for the 1904 World's Fair.

Link died in Batron Rouge while working on the Louisiana State University. He's buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery, and in 1995 was awarded a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.
