John F. Staub

John Fanz Staub (September 12, 1892 – April 13, 1981) was an American residential architect who designed numerous traditionally-styled homes and mansions, mostly in Houston, Texas from the 1920s to 1960s.

[1] After graduating from MIT, Staub worked for Harrie T. Lindeberg, who had established an architectural practice specializing in country houses in New York.

Lindeberg dispatched him in 1921 to Texas in order to supervise three commissioned houses in the Shadyside neighborhood of Houston.

In the 1920s, he specialized in designing single-family houses according to popular European styles, though he later shifted to a preference for Georgian Revival.

He also performed residential architecture in Beaumont, Texas, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Memphis, Tennessee.
