Herman Knickerbocker Viele, son of Theresa Griffin, and General Egbert L. Vielé, who divorced after both parents had separate affairs, and the siblings were broke up, between the two parents. The two youngest went with their mother to France, while Herman stayed with his father in New York. Herman followed his father in becoming a Civil Engineer, and worked in two major developments; Leadville, in the 1870s, which was at the time a budding mining town, and Washington D.C. in 1885, where he worked on expanding the Capital City until his health failed.

"Vielé delighted in creating delightfully fantastic conditions lightly bordering upon the impossible”
