John Adam Hasecoster was arguably the most important architect in the Richmond, Indiana area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His practice was located in Richmond, Indiana but designed buildings throughout the region.
Hasecoster was born in Osnabruck, Lower Saxony, Germany and his father was a master builder there. After studying drafting at Nienburg, he emigrated to the United States in 1867 to join two brothers who had settled in Richmond, Indiana.
He completed his architecture study in St. Louis and Chicago and returned to Richmond after a five-year apprenticeship in 1875.
He designed buildings in many styles including Second Empire, Romanesque, Gothic Revival, and Craftsman.
Among his most notable extant buildings are the Abram Gaar Residence; Franklin County, Indiana Courthouse (remodeling); Knightstown Academy; Wernle Children's Home; Reid Memorial Hospital; Lincoln Hall, Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home, Knightstown, Indiana; Gaar-Scott & Company Office; St. John's Lutheran Church; Henry and Alice Gennett residence; and the David Worth Dennis residence. The home he designed for his own family still stands on East Main Street in Richmond.
