Reinholdt Frederick Hennig was born November 8, 1901 in South Dakota but he relocated with his parents to Nebraska shortly after birth. Hennig was one of Omaha's most important architects; he was an “architect who became a bridge, tying contemporary design in Omaha over the war years.”[8] He has a long list of architectural accomplishments, which boasts much work done on residential buildings in particular. Hennig was married to Ruth, with whom he had two sons and a daughter. Hennig died March 17, 1961.[4][7]
