Josef Adam Irschara (born December 23, 1848 in Innsbruck ; † August 26, 1925 in Absam near Hall ) was a South Tyrolean builder . He was the son of the gardener and food dealer Peter Irschara. He married Elisabeth Anna Würtenberger in Merano on June 30, 1873, who came from Zell am Ziller . He had two daughters; Elisabeth married Decorona in Bolzano; Ida married Czichna in Innsbruck. He also had a son Otto, who died in 1883.

After 1900 he moved to Absam near Hall; there he built the Villa Schönhausen (today St. Josef Mission House) and from 1909 to 1910 the Schillerschlössl.

Irschara built rather bulky and preferred to put turrets on his buildings.
