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 from 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.〔 and (accompanying three photos from 1979 )〕 His medical records describe him as suffering from severe depression and as manic depressive. Lang was born in Ohio in 1846.〔 Early in his career he designed at least three buildings in Kansas including Albion School in Albion, Nebraska. He moved to Denver in 1886. Lang is known for his use of turrets, gargoyles, polychromatic stone, and a mixture of columns. He ran into financial and related legal troubles. His business collapsed and he seems to have lost his mental faculties. He was hit and killed by a train.〔http://www.drbrantigan.com/history/LANGbio1public.pdf〕 Lang's presentation book is at the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library.〔 He married Delia and had one daughter, Mabel.〔http://www.vintagehomesofdenver.com/artman/publish/denver-home-styles/Denver-Architects---William-Lang.html Vintage Homes of Denver〕 ==Works== *Castle Marne (1890), 1572 Race Street, Denver, Colorado〔 *St. Mark's Parish Church, 1160 Lincoln St., Denver, (NRHP-listed, credit to Lang & Pugh〔) *Ghost Building, 800 18th Street, Denver, (Ghost Block at Seventeenth and Champa?) *Bailey House, 1600 Ogden St., Denver, built 1899, (NRHP-listed, credit to Lang,William).
