Andrew Mitermiler was born in Bohemia and immigrated to the United States in 1861, initially settling in Baltimore, Maryland. He was a graduate in civil engineer from the University of Vienna. He came to Cleveland in 1871 where he worked as a foreman in the office of architect Joseph M. Blackburn until 1873. Bohemian-born architects J. W. Hradek and Dominick Benes, later of Hubbell & Benes, worked as a apprentices in his office. Mitermiler had strong ties to the large local German and the fast growing Bohemian and Hungarian communities. The majority of his commissions came from these communities. He was well known for his breweries, industrial and commercial buildings, and social halls. He is buried in Woodland Cemetery.
