Piquenard was an architect and designed the Illinois and Iowa capital buildings. He moved to Springfield in 1870 from Missouri so that he could oversee the construction on the Illinois Capitol.
Piquenard first joined a Union infantry regiment as a private; by the end of the war, he had been promoted to captain and commander of "Piquenard's Company of Pioneers," a unit of construction engineers.
He died in 1876 of liver disease brought on by malaria, which he had contracted during the Civil War.
