At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Masqueray met Archbishop John Ireland (1838-1918), who became impressed with the architecture at the fair and sought out its chief architect. Ireland hoped to build a grand cathedral in Saint Paul, MN, and found in Masqueray the right man for the job. (See Alan K. Lathrop, “A French Architect in Minnesota,” Minnesota History, vol. 47,no. 2, Summer 1980, p. 49.)

Teaching

Founder, Atelier Masqueray, Architect, New York, NY, 1893-1901. At one time Masqueray operated independent architectural studios for men (opened in 1893 at 123 E. 23rd Street) and women (opened 1899 at 37–40 West 22nd Street), before moving to Saint Louis, MO, in 1901, to supervise the design of the Saint Louis World's Fair of 1904. A number of renowned architects trained here, including William Van Alen (1883-1954) and Leonard B. Schultze (1877-1951) of the firm of Schultze and Weaver, the firm that designed the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel.

The Atelier Masqueray operated on its own once Masqueray left for Saint Louis in 1901. The architect Henry Hornsbostel (1867-1961) operated it following his departure. According to historian Henry Castle, “His atelier in New York having been organized as a self-governing institution, found another professor in Mr. Hornbostel and continued as he left it….
