Hi Falcontracker!

I've done a bit of research on South Park since I learned of the awful attempt to destroy her. The architect was Reuben Harrison Hunt (& Company...better known as R. H. Hunt). He was mostly self-taught and many of his beautiful buildings stand today, protected by inclusion on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Here are just a few examples of his work.
