Joseph W. McCarthy
Joseph William McCarthy was an architect in the early 20th century most famous for his work on buildings for the Roman Catholic Church. He moved to Chicago from Jersey City, New Jersey, when he was a teenager. He attended Catholic parochial school on the South Side before entering the architecture firm of Daniel Burnham, a noted Chicago architect. He opened his own Chicago-based architecture firm in 1911.
Favored not only by Cardinal Mundelein but several other Catholic Church officials, McCarthy is the most prolific designer of buildings for the Roman Catholic Church in the United States in the early twentieth century.[1] His credited buildings include the Mundelein College Skyscraper and Mundelein Seminary.[2]
