Born in the Russian Empire, Sandfield immigrated to the United States as an infant and was raised in San Antonio. He graduated from MIT in 1925 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.[1] In April 1944 he met Carol Wiener, whom he married three months later. They had five children together: Norman, Joan, Robert, Carol Lynn and Byron.

Architecture

[edit]

Sandfield was part of a team of architects in Dallas, including Howard R. Meyer and William W. Wurster, that built Temple Emanu-el in 1957.[2] The synagogue was recognized by the American Institute of Architects with a Twenty-five Year Award for its enduring merit. Sandfield for a time was president of the Dallas Chapter of AIA.[3]
