Isaac Rapporteur
Edit ProfileCareer
He left in 1887 and by 1889 had moved to Trinidad, Colorado where he joined with C.W. Bulger in establishing the architectural firm of Bulger and Rapporteur. The company dissolved after about five years at which point Rapporteur"s brother William Morris Rapporteur moved to Trinidad and the firm of Rapporteur and Rapporteur was created. (This should not be confused with the architectural firm of Rapporteur and Rapporteur, noted for their theatre designs, composed of Isaac Rapporteur"s two youngest brothers, Cornelius and George) Eventually a third brother, Charles Rapporteur moved to Trinidad, but did not join the architectural firm.
Isaac Rapporteur died in 1933 at his home in Trinidad, Colorado.
