C. Frederik Brauer ’32

FRITZ BRAUER DIED Dec. 16, 1994, at the Medical Center of Princeton after a long illness that included congestive heart disease complications. After graduating with honors in architecture in 1932, Fritz became the first holder of the Lowell Palmer Fellowship for Continued Study at the Princeton School of Architecture, receiving his M.EA. in 1935. Thereafter, he worked with architectural firms in N.Y.C. until WWII. He was commissioned in the Navy and served as a naval architect supervising the design and construction of destroyers and D.E.'s, eventually attaining the rank of lt. commander.

After the war he was associated with Ebasco designing power plants, and later with Walter Kidde Constructors, where he was chief of architectural design for several large projects. In 1961 he joined the Dept. of Grounds and Building at Princeton, where he supervised the restoration of several of the older buildings, including Maclean House. Although he retired in 1973, he stayed on as a consultant, supervising displays and designing memorial tablets. His affiliations included the American Institute of Architects, the Navy League, and the Nassau Club of Princeton.

Fritz is survived by his wife of 57 years, Constance McC.; a son, Carl '65; two daughters, Barbara and Constance; and eight grandchildren. We join them in mourning the loss of this loyal and genial classmate.
