    BIOGRAPHY: ALFRED BULT MULLETT, MINT ARCHITECT

    "Alfred B. Mullett was born in England in 1834. His
    family immigrated to Glendale, Ohio in 1845. A couple
    of years later he began work in the Cincinnati office
    of architect Isaiah Rogers. Mullett later moved to
    Washington, D.C. and in 1863 began work for the
    Treasury Department. He rose to the position of
    Supervising Architect in 1866.

    During his eight years as Supervising Architect, he
    oversaw the design and construction of over forty
    federal buildings across America.

    Several of these buildings are still standing,
    including the Mint in Carson City, NV, the Mint in
    San Francisco, CA, and the State, War and Navy Building
    (now the Old Executive Office Building) in Washington, D.C."
