About William Lang

Lived 1846 – 1897 (aged 50–51). William Lang was an American architect.

William A. Lang (1846–1897) was an architect active in Denver, Colorado from 1885 to 1893. On his own or in partnership, he designed a number of buildings that survive and are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Lang partnered with Marshall Pugh to form Lang & Pugh in 1889. The firm also employed Reinhard Schuetze for a time.

Lang's business interests, like his father's, often faced financial stumbles and may have collapsed following the Panic of 1893. He moved to Illinois and in 1897. His medical records describe him as suffering from severe depression and as manic depressive.

Lang was born in Ohio in 1846.

Lang's presentation book is at the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library.
