George Guido Schwartz

George Guido Schwartz (1853–1926) was a New Zealand architect. Schwartz was born in Hamburg and studied there and in Stuttgart before practising in various cities around western Germany. Schwartz came to New Zealand to follow his brother but struggled to obtain work and worked as an actuary until 1896, when he started a full-time architectural career that lasted until his death in 1926. Schwartz mostly designed domestic and commercial premises and several of his surviving works are scheduled with the Wellington City Council and Heritage New Zealand.
