Biography

Paul Matzinger was born in Canton, Ohio and raised in Chicago. He graduated from Calvin College in 1888. He was employed as a draftsman by A. W. Rust, the Savings and Sensible Architectural Bureau, Cramer & Fugman, and Arthur Oviatt. From 1893 to 1897 he was a member of the firm of Matzinger and Sprackling. After 1898 he was in business for himself, except for two brief partnerships, Matzinger and Hulett (1905) and Matzinger and Miller (1911-1915). He was the architect of numerous churches, apartment buildings, and terraces throughout Cleveland. Significant examples of his work include the Tudor Revival Clifton Terrace (1905-6), the Gothic Revival Zion Lutheran Church (1902), and the Mission style Eighth Reformed Church (1909). In 1920 his office was located in the Caxton Building and he lived at 11609 Fairport Avenue in Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood. In the later 1920's he worked for Lehman and Schmitt until 1928 when he went into practice for himself. He would form a partnership with Rudolph J. Grosel. He later moved to 6870 Ridge Road in Parma. He died in Boynton Beach, Florida in November 1966 at the age of ninety-six, and was buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland.
