The elder Bohlen founded the prominent firm D. A. Bohlen & Son. The name of the company remained unchanged even after his death. The Young Bohlen graduated from the Boston Institute of Technology in 1882. He then returned home and worked for his fathers business. The D. A. Bohlen & Son firm was responsible for many well-known downtown buildings, including the old Indiana National Bank, the Majestic Building and the Murat Temple.
