Kiehnel and Elliott

He was born in Germany and studied at the University of Breslau and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

[4] He supervised the construction of El Jardin, the earliest known Mediterranean Revival work remaining in Miami.

Designing the mansion for John Bindley, President of the Pittsburgh Steel Company, Kiehnel departed from the Mission style that had only recently made its appearance in Florida and provided an elaborate antiquity for the house by using aging techniques to get the desired effect.

[7] He also designed the Annie Russell Theatre, a Romanesque Revival building on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park.

A number of Kiehnel's and the firm's works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
