Unexpected Architecture Connection

[stormdog]

Sometimes one of the people I'm researching turns out to be easy to find. I'm looking for one Bernard Joseph Stanislaus Cahill. It turns out that as well as having patented an interesting buttefly map projection, he was a very well-known architect in San Francisco who worked up and down the coast and into Canada. UC-Berkeley has a significant archival collection related to him. He may be best known for graveyards and a large columbarium in San Francisco, and he did some really pretty neo-classical designs!

I'm finding that I never know what I'm going to get when I start researching one of these folks.
