Early life and education

Von Herbulis was born at Budapest, Hungary, in 1860. He graduated from the Military Academy of Vienna and the Polytechnic University of Vienna, after which he migrated to the United States.

Career in America

Von Herbulis emigrated to the United States sometime after 1885. He practiced architecture for a short time in Scranton, Pennsylvania, after which he moved to Washington, D.C. The Roman Catholic Church was his primary client, engaging him to design numerous ecclesiastical and educational buildings. In 1904, he received a major commission from the Catholic Diocese of Ottawa to design a new campus plan, a scheme that included eight new buildings, of which only the Arts and Sciences Building was built. Von Herbulis also designed the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Helena, Montana, the Holy Angels Roman Catholic Academy & School, Buffalo, N.Y., and Ryan Hall at Georgetown University. He died on 14 April 1928.
