Viktor Klutho

Viktor Klutho was an American architect of German descent, who designed a number of Catholic churches, schools, convents and rectories in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and elsewhere.

Born in Alsace-Lorraine, Klutho came to St. Louis with his family at age 12. His long career began in 1885 as a carpenter; by 1887, he had formed a partnership with Frederick Boeke known as Klutho and Boeke. In 1900, he began an independent practice of architecture and was licensed to practice architecture in Illinois by 1902.
