Jane C. Hall Johnson (October 19, 1919 - 2001) was an American engineer and architect. She designed numerous commercial, residential and institutional developments.
Early life and education
Jane Hall was born on October 11, 1919 in Maryville, Missouri. She was the second of three daughters born to her parents, both of whom were teachers. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to St. Louis, where she attended elementary and secondary school. In 1941, Hall graduated from Missouri University of Science and Technology (then known as the Missouri School of Mines) with a degree in civil engineering. In 1949, she decided to study architecture, and she graduated in 1955 from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Architecture. In 1970, the degree obtained the equivalence of a master's degree in Architecture.[1][2][3]
Career
She worked as a structural engineer in highway design and aircraft stress analysis at companies such as Nichols Engineering & Research (New York), Boeing (Wichita, Kansas), and Curtiss Wright (St. Louis).
Between 1955 and 1959, Jane Hall worked in Boston as an architect for various firms, where she specialized in developing and drawing construction plans. Between 1961 and 1963, she worked with Manske & Dieckmann and the Missouri architects and urban planners Hammond, Charle & Burns. Jane Hall's work consisted of the realization of perspectives, study and design proposals, and construction plans for office projects and recreational buildings.
In 1969, she returned to St. Louis and married engineer Benjamin Johnson. They opened their own firm together in 1970.<ref name="Cramer 2005"> They performed residential, commercial, and educational architecture and engineering work for the St. Louis Redevelopment Authority, the Human Development Corporation, and the City of Jefferson Department of Natural Resources, among others.
Between 1975 and 1984, there were more than twenty-five new projects and renovations carried out by Jane Hall Johnson and her husband, mainly public works: the municipal building for Wellston, Montgomery Hyde Park, the playground for the Center for Parents and Children in St. Louis, and the "Hyde Park Village" retirement villas in St. Louis. The latter were a proposal of impact for the time.
In addition, Hall completed numerous residential expansion, remodeling, and new construction projects in St. Louis. She photographed many of her own projects. Hall's architecture is characterized by the use of volumes and simple lines, which highlight the brick or wood aesthetic typical of North American architecture of the eighties.
Retirement
Jane Hall Johnson retired in 1997 and passed away in 2001. Her professional license was registered and licensed in Missouri and Illinois. She was also a professional associate of the American Institute of Architects, St. Louis campus. The International Archive of Women in Architecture contains material from the architectural production of Jane C. Hall Johnson.
