- Ralph_Gerganoff abstract "Ralph S Gerganoff (1887 - 1966), born Rashko Stoyan Gerganoff, also frequently referred to as R.S. Gerganoff Prolific American architect, born in Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria in 1887, he moved to the United States in 1907. He graduated from high school at Fredonia State Normal College, Fredonia, New York in 1913 and moved to Michigan shortly thereafter where he studied architecture at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1917.Gerganoff worked for several years in Detroit then in 1927 opened an office in Ypsilanti, Michigan. In time he was to erect many buildings in Ypsilanti, and nearby Ann Arbor. From the late 1920s through the 1950s Gerganoff, was to become the unofficial architect of the city of Ypsilanti and its surrounding townships, designing virtually all the public schools, firestations, the hospital, and other public buildings, as well as Cleary College, the Washtenaw Country Club, numerous churches, business, factories, union halls, and the Salvation Army headquarters in Ypsilanti. He was also responsible for designing many private dwellings, ranging from small Cape Cod cottages to large Eclectic and Tudor styled mansions, and apartment buildings. For the Michigan State Normal College (later Eastern Michigan University) located in Ypsilanti, he designed the Presidents Home, at least six resident halls, the music building, football stadium, laboratory and greenhouse, the Administration Building and the Rackham School for Handicapped Children as well as a Service and a Shop building. Some of these structures have since been destroyed. He was also responsible for designing around two dozen service stations in the Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti area, many of them now gone.In Ann Arbor he designed several landmark buildings including the Wolverine Building, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Kingsley Apartments.Early in his career Gerganoff developed what could be termed a Low Style Art Deco vocabulary. He frequently employs the stepped pyramid shape of Art Deco as well as the rounded corners of the Moderne. He continued designing in the manner well into the 1950s. Following the end of World War II Gerganoff managed to bring his two nephews Steven and Zach Gerganoff to America from Bulgaria and see them trained as architects. Both were to become part of his architectural practice and probably were responsible for his International Style designs of the 1950s and 60s. At times Gerganoff employed Detroit architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci to create sculpture for his buildings.R.S. Gerganoff suffered a heart attack while working in the same office that he had worked in since 1927, and died two hours later, on November 25, 1966. He is buried in Highland Cemetery in Ypsilanti.".
