Henning, September 27, 2011. Biographical Note: Arthur Brandt Henning A.I.A. graduated with a B.S. in architecture from the University of Illinois, and was a registered architect in Indiana and Illinois. A medalist winner from the Beaux Arts Institute of Design, he started his career in 1928. He maintained membership in the Indiana Society of Architects and the American Institute of Architects, as well as local charitable, religious, and fraternal organizations. He married and had four children. Henning moved to Anderson, Indiana, and worked for architect Erwin F. Miller, who founded his firm in 1920. In 1946 Henning and Miller went into partnership and the firm was called Miller & Henning. In 1955, Henning bought the practice from Miller and it became known as Arthur B. Henning A.I.A. which later became Arthur B. Henning and Associates. Under the last iteration, he partnered with Kenneth Rubbert Montgomery, A.I.A., and project managers were Marion L. Collins, Jr., Jerome T. Henning, Philip Stiefler, and Marion E. Henning.
