Louis Heinrick Giele, AIA (1861–1932) was a German-born American architect, who designed a number of Catholic churches, schools, convents and rectories in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and elsewhere.
Personal life
Giele was born "Ludwig Heinrich Giele" in Hanover and emigrated to the United States in January 1882 as a carpenter.[2] He married Linda Holder in July 1884 in Jersey City[3] and set up an architectural practice there.
