William Gabriel Tachau, AIA, (April 1875 – January 1969[1]), was an American architect active in early- to mid-twentieth-century New York City. With Lewis Pilcher, he was a partner in the architectural firm of Pitcher & Tachau from 1904 to 1919 when he established the firm of Tachau & Vought.[2] Both firms from 1918 onward specialized in mental hygiene hospitals.[3] The firm moved from 109 Lexington Avenue to 102 East 30th Street around 1923 and remained at that address and that name even after Vought left.[4]
