Hyland & Green was an architectural firm based in Chicago that practiced from 1910 to 1914 and completed projects in Illinois and several Midwestern states, including several projects in Lincoln, Nebraska.[1][a] Hyland's hand was also involved in other Lincoln work, to the point Hyland employed a representative in Lincoln from 1915-1918, J. G. McArthur. Green practiced individually in Chicago after 1914. By the 1920s he had relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he practiced in partnerships and individually at least until the 1950s.

Notes

a. American Contractor of May 14, 1910 announced "Architects Paul V. Hyland and Herbert H. Green, Chicago, formed a partnership as Hyland & Green, with offices at 1515 Heyworth building." The April 18, 1914 edition of the same periodical announced "Architects Hyland & Green, 29 E. Madison Street, Chicago, have dissolved partnership. Paul V. Hyland will remain in the present office, suite 1605. H. H. Green has taken office in the 'Michigan Blvd.' bldg."[1][8] Chicago city directories list the Hyland and Green partnership from 1910 to 1913. In the latter year, the directory specifies Paul V. Hyland and Herbert H. Green as the members of the Hyland and Green partnership. Green was listed as a 1906 winner of a Chicago Architectural Club scholarship. He was identified in the 1910 Census as an architect and a resident of Chicago, born in Illinois circa 1879, married to Mary.[3][4] Hyland and Green were listed separately beginning in 1914. By the 1920s, Green was practicing in Phoenix and continued at least until the 1950s. He died in Phoenix in 1968.

b. The building permit for the First National Bank Building estimates the construction cost at $230,000, listing "Hyland and Green, Chicago, Ill." as the architects and Selden-Breck Construction Co. of Saint Louis as the contractor.[5]

c. This project was immediately adjacent (to the east) of the First National Bank Building. The building permit describes the work as "Remodel or change front." The estimated cost as $12,500 and time for construction was "2 to 3 months."[6]

d. The building permit applications describe the summer house as "brick & terra cotta" costing an estimated $700. The "Brick & Iron Fence" was to be installed "where wood fence now stands" at a cost of $1,000.[7]

e. American Contractor of May 21, 1910 describes a "Residence: 2 sty. & bas. 33x27. $5,000. Downing av., Glencoe, Ill. Architects Hyland & Green, 42 Madison st., Chicago. Owner E. T. Bush, Chicago. On foundation."[9]

k. American Contractor of July 26, 1913 lists plans for the Lincoln residence of Frank Woods, which was not built until three years later. The 1915 specifications for the mansion mention only Hyland, but the project apparently began years earlier, described as: "Residence (to contain ball-room): 2 sty., attic & bas. 54x104. Lincoln, Neb. Archts. Hyland & Green...Owner F. H. Woods, Lincoln. Architects and owner will be ready to take figures Aug. 29.
