In 1895, he made an extended trip to Europe for further study. He married Laura R. Steffens in Chicago on June 9, 1897, and they had two children. In 1902, he was commissioned to go to Manchester, England, and in 1903, to London and Scotland. He moved to San Francisco in 1905 and established a solo office. Mullgardt was active in several organizations of architects and artists. He served as president of the San Francisco Society of Architects, president of the California Society of Etchers, vice-president of the San Francisco Society of Artists, director of the San Francisco Art Association, and Secretary of the Group Jury for Etchings and Engravings of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. He died in San Francisco on January 12, 1942. Art historian Robert Judson Clark was the leading expert on Mullgardt until his death in 2011.
