Rudolphe Lawrence Daus[a] (1854–1916) was an American architect based in Brooklyn, New York City.[1] He designed the 13th Regiment Armory in Brooklyn, now the Pamoja House for homeless men, and the Lincoln Club. He also designed several libraries. He was a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.[2]
Daus was born in Mexico to a German Catholic family of Jewish descent and studied in Europe before working for Richard Morris Hunt and George B. Post. He established his own firm in 1884.[3]
Carl Westman worked at his firm, as did Fay Kellogg at the start of her career. Daus died in Paris in 1916.
