Edward L. Frick (1891-19??)
Edward Frick was born in 1891 and went to the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1913, after winning a scholarship from the Architectural League of the Pacific Coast. After the school closed due to World War I, Frick returned to San Francisco to work for the firm Bakewell & Brown. When the United States entered the war, he enlisted in the military in a detachment of engineers and architects and was sent to France. Following the war, Frick finished his studies at the Ecole receiving his degree in 1922. He continued to be associated with Arthur Brown Jr., even after Bakewell & Brown dissolved in 1927. From 1935 to 1939 Frick was chief of architecture for the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island. He was a member of the San Francisco Art Commission from 1935 to 1945. In 1941, he established the firm Weihe, Frick & Kruse with Ernest Weihe and Lawrence Kruse. The firm dissolved in 1965.
