Overview

edit

Joseph & Joseph was established by Alfred Joseph and his younger brother Oscar in 1908. Alfred's architectural training included working under the McDonald Brothers, under McDonald and Sheblessy, and under McDonald and Dodd. In those firms he worked on designs for Louisville's Presbyterian Seminary, Temple Adath Israel, and the original Weissinger-Gaulbert building. Oscar was trained at the University of Michigan as a civil engineer. The first commission of the firm was a shoe shine parlor. The first major commission was the old Kentucky State Fair Building.[5]

In 1964, engineer Cass Moter[6] became a partner in the firm and his son Merrill joined the staff in 1973 and became a partner in 1982.[7]

In 2004, Cash Moter, Merrill's son, became a part of staff and then, in 2013, a partner.[8]

In 2018, Eric Huelsman joined Joseph & Joseph and became a partner in 2020.

In 2020, the company acquired Bravura Corporation.[9][10] After the merger, the name was changed to Joseph&Joseph+Bravura Architects.
