Eugene R. Liebert (1866 – April 27, 1945) was a German American architect who is known for his works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Liebert was active designing buildings in the 19th century.
Career
Eugene R. Liebert was born in Germany in 1866. He emigrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1883, where he found work with a relative in the Trostel & Gallun tannery. The next year, Liebert took a position as a draftsman with Henry C. Koch. When Herman Schnetzky left Koch's office to start his own architectural firm, Liebert followed him as his foreman. In 1891, Liebert was admitted as a partner. Liebert left to form his own architectural office in 1897. Liebert was a popular choice among Milwaukee Germans and his work strongly reflects his home country' style.{{citation|title=Historic Designation Study Report: Henry Harnischfeger House|url=http://www.city.milwaukee.gov/ImageLibrary/Groups/cityHPC/DesignatedReports/vticnf/HarnischfegerHouse.pdf|publisher=City of Milwaukee|year=1991|accessdate=October 29, 2014}}
