Schneider's parents were printers who moved from Germany to Washington, D.C., in 1830. After high school, Schneider worked for the architectural firm of Adolf Cluss and Schultze. While there, he worked on the construction of the Arts and Industries Building. He opened his own firm at age 24 and by 30 had designed The Cairo and The Forest Inn.[2][3]

Schneider also created the city's first bus company.[2]
