Frank J. Nies

Frank J. Nies was an American architect best known for having designed numerous Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad stations, at least fifteen of which have been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (with attribution below as given in NRHP):^[1] Many are still in service as passenger stations of the New Jersey Transit system over 100 years after they were built. He sometimes worked with the railroad's chief engineer, Lincoln Bush. Before working for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Nies was a partner in the architectural firm Finkler & Nies, with Adolph Finkler, in Chicago in 1896.^[2]
