description: "Charles Friedrich Zimpel, also known as Carl Friedrich Zimpel and Charles Franz Zimpel, was a Prussian-born engineer, architect, surveyor and cartographer. He worked in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the 1830s, where he designed several buildings and produced a detailed 1834 map of the city and its vicinity. He later prepared an 1864 plan for a proposed railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem. In particular, he designed the Bishop's City Hotel in 1831, the Bank of Orleans in 1832, as well as the Banks Arcade and the Orleans Cotton Press in 1833."
