John Desmond

John Jacob Desmond (April 5, 1922 – March 27, 2008) was an American architect in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who designed such public buildings as the Baton Rouge River Center, the Louisiana State University Student Union, Bluebonnet Swamp Interpretive Center, Louisiana Arts and Sciences Center, Louisiana State Archives, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State Library, and the Louisiana Naval Museum. He also designed the United States Embassy building in Monrovia, Liberia, the Lindy Boggs Center (named for former U.S. Representative Corrine "Lindy" Boggs) at his own ''alma mater'', Tulane University in New Orleans, and the cafeteria at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, the principal city of Tangipahoa Parish.〔"John Jacob Desmond", ''Who's Who in America, 1997'', pp. 1045-1046〕
Desmond and his firm, Desmond, Miremont & Burks, later John Desmond and Associates,〔(John Desmond and Associates, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA - Archiplanet )〕 also designed numerous churches, including Grace Memorial Episcopal Church in Hammond and St. Joseph's Cathedral, Westminster Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge,〔(John Desmond Papers )〕 Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church (his own congregation), and the Catholic Life Center, all in Baton Rouge.〔(2theadvocate.com | News | Architect Desmond dies — Baton Rouge, LA )〕
==Early years, education, military==
Desmond was born in Denver, Colorado, to Timothy J. Desmond and the former Rose Isabelle Dvorak (1886–1982),〔(Social Security Death Index Interactive Search )〕 but he lived most of his life in Hammond and Baton Rouge. He graduated from Hammond High School in 1937 and thereafter procured his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Tulane. He obtained a Master of Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, where he studied under the American Institute of Architects gold medal winners William Wurster and Alvar Aalto, a native of Finland.〔(Hammond Daily Star Online - Obituaries )〕
During World War II, Desmond served in the United States Navy as an ensign aboard the destroyer , which escorted convoys across the Atlantic. He saw action in the Battle of Anzio, Italy, in the Mediterranean. After the war, upon finishing his education, he worked for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York City, architect A. Hays Town in Baton Rouge, and for the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1953, he returned to Hammond to open the first architectural practice in the Florida Parishes of southeastern Louisiana. He was the Tangipahoa Parish School Board architect for some twenty years.〔
