'''Charles W. Steinbaugh''' was born July 29, 1877, in Illinois. He worked as an architect in Omaha, at times working for the government. He first was an architect in Illinois and Iowa; he was given his Certificate of the Iowa Examining Board due solely to his professional record and the Illinois certificate which enabled it. Steinbaugh was married to Ethel, and he had two children. In 1934, he worked on the Historic American Buildings Survey, supervising the Nebraska crew. He was also the designer and delineator of the Nebraska State Board of Architects Certificate. Steinbaugh died September 1958.[[#References|[3][4][5]]]
