Charles A. Randall (born 1871) was an American architect who practiced in Indiana, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
Randall was born on July 9, 1871, in Logansport, Indiana, to Charles H. and Augusta J. (Thissel) Randall, [1] both natives of New England. [2] After graduating from the public schools, he attended the University of Illinois at Urbana, where he studied architecture. After leaving the University, he spent three years in an architect's office in Chicago. [1] After a short time spent in Lead, South Dakota, where he was briefly married, he returned in 1893 to Logansport. [3] There, he joined the office of architect James H. Rhodes. In 1899 he and Rhodes established a partnership, Rhodes & Randall. [4]
In 1901 this partnership was dissolved, and Randall relocated to Deadwood, South Dakota, near Lead. There, he joined the office of Otho C. Jewett, [1] who had been practicing there since at least 1898. [5] In April 1902 Jewett died, and Randall took over the practice. [1] His first major project in Deadwood was the Franklin Hotel, plans for which Jewett had just begun at the time of his death. [6] He remained in Deadwood until 1905, when he relocated to Casper, Wyoming. From there, in 1909, he went to Newcastle, same state. In 1911 he briefly returned to South Dakota, settling in Belle Fourche. [7] By 1913 he had settled in Sheridan, Wyoming, where he appears to have remained for the rest of his career.
At least three of Randall's buildings have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and at least two more contribute to listed historic districts.

Deadwood is a city that serves as county seat of Lawrence County, South Dakota, United States. It was named by early settlers after the dead trees found in its gulch. The city had its heyday from 1876 to 1879, after gold deposits had been discovered there, leading to the Black Hills Gold Rush. At its height, the city had a population of 25,000, attracting Old West figures such as Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, and Wild Bill Hickok.
Ethan Bennett Farnum was one of the first residents of Deadwood who was not a miner or prospector; he was the owner of a general store. He was the first mayor of the town of Deadwood.
