Alexander Chadbourne Eschweiler (August 10, 1865 – June 12, 1940) was an American architect, with a practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that built both residences and commercial structures. His eye-catching Japonist pagoda design for filling stations for Wadham's Oil and Grease Company of Milwaukee were repeated over a hundred times, though only a very few survive. His substantial turn-of-the-twentieth-century residences for the Milwaukee business elite, in conservative Jacobethan or neo-Georgian idioms, have preserved their cachet in the city.〔(JS Online: Exhibit celebrates elegance, wit of Eschweiler )〕 Eschweiler was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He studied at Marquette University and Cornell University, graduating in 1890. Eschweiler opened his practice in Milwaukee in 1892. In 1923 his sons, Alexander C. Eschweiler Jr., Theodore, and Carl joined him in practice.〔(Marathon County Historical Society: Online Research )〕〔(Eschweiler, Alexander Chadbourne 1865 - 1940 )〕 The Eschweiler Prize is made from a bequest of Alexander C. Eschweiler, Jr., ’15 in memory of his father Alexander C. Eschweiler, Sr., ’90. An annual award of approximately $3,000 * is given to a student in architecture with high scholastic achievement who has been accepted in one of the architecture graduate programs at Cornell. '' *Amount of award may vary from year to year.'' .〔(Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning Student, Faculty and Staff Handbook )〕 A number of Eschweiler works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Eighty-one surviving commissions were noted in the exhibition "Alexander Eschweiler in Milwaukee: Celebrating a Rich Architectural Heritage" Charles Allis Art Museum, 2007. == Village of Chenequa == Eschweiler was instrumental in the incorporation of the new village of Chenequa, Wisconsin. He was one of a handful of notable residents that testified in court that it was his residence.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_lJQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=EA8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=7101%2C4754832〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander C.
