- Note
- William M. Kenyon was born in Hudson Falls, New York in the late 1860s. He graduated from Boston Art Normal School in 1884 and came to Minneapolis in 1893. He had a private architectural practice from 1893-1912 and then began a partnership in 1913 with Maurice Maine. The firm of Kenyon & Maine was known for designing public buildings, including Abbott Hospital (Minneapolis, 1919-1920) and many buildings for the Soo Line railroad. The partnership ended in 1929, and Kenyon again practiced on his own. He was the chief architect for the Soo Line railroad for 20 years, in partnership with Maine, and was commissioned in 1914 to develop the community of Ajo, Arizona for the New Cornelia Company. William Kenyon died on February 4, 1940. Maurice Francis Maine was born on February 6, 1881 in Rockland, Maine. He came to Minneapolis in 1900 and was educated at Hamline University (St. Paul) and art schools in the Twin Cities area. He formed a partnership with William Kenyon in 1913. Maurice Maine died on September 10, 1950.
