Biographical Note:
Arthur Brandt Henning A.I.A. graduated with a B.S. in architecture from the University of
Illinois, and was a registered architect in Indiana and Illinois. A medalist winner from the Beaux
Arts Institute of Design, he started his career in 1928. He maintained membership in the Indiana
Society of Architects and the American Institute of Architects, as well as local charitable,
religious, and fraternal organizations. He married and had four children.
Henning moved to Anderson, Indiana, and worked for architect Erwin F. Miller, who founded
his firm in 1920. In 1946 Henning and Miller went into partnership and the firm was called
Miller & Henning. In 1955, Henning bought the practice from Miller and it became known as
Arthur B. Henning A.I.A. which later became Arthur B. Henning and Associates. Under the last
iteration, he partnered with Kenneth Rubbert Montgomery, A.I.A., and project managers were
Marion L. Collins, Jr., Jerome T. Henning, Philip Stiefler, and Marion E. Henning.

Scope and Contents:
This collection consists of photographs, sketches, reference material, and ephemera from the
office of architect Arthur B. Henning, Anderson, Indiana. It covers the period 1922-1980.
The architectural drawings in the collection are from Henning’s predecessor firm and drawn by
the architect Erwin F. Miller. Drawing sets are for projects in Madison County and include
schools, residences, brewery facilities, and a business. The drawings are arranged
chronologically.
The bulk of the collection consists of Henning’s projects, which are primarily schools, churches,
government buildings, libraries, hospital and businesses in Anderson, Indiana, and surrounding
Madison County. Some of his largest projects were City Hall, Community Hospital, Fire
Department Headquarters, and Anderson High School, all in Anderson, Indiana. Other projects
include multiple buildings on the Anderson College campus, Central Christian Church, First
Methodist Church, and numerous schools in the area. Items in the collection include
photographs, building dedication booklets, newspaper clippings, articles, reference books, and
microfilm of building proposals. Henning’s architectural drawings were passed on to the firm
that bought Henning’s office when Henning retired. Items are arranged alphabetically by project.
