He came to Princeton from St. Albans School. He joined Tower Club and participated in the Princeton Tiger and Theatre Intime, and was an architecture major. He roomed with Jim Lemon.
After graduation, he got a master’s in architecture at Princeton and then returned to Washington, where he worked for architectural firms and served two years in the Army, stationed at the Pentagon.
Arthur opened his own architectural and planning firm in 1965, and had a truly stunning career. In 1981, he was selected Washingtonian of the Year. In the 1980s and 1990s, he served as a consulting architect on an $81.5 million renovation of the Thomas Jefferson Building, the centerpiece of the Library of Congress, which reopened in 1997. His most noted design was Washington Harbour, a $200 million complex along the banks of the Potomac River in Georgetown. His amazing career is detailed in a Washington Post obituary.
Arthur is survived by his wife, Patricia; son Gregory ’82 and his wife Karin Rabe ’82; and a grandson. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
