Elliot J. Rothschild ’64

Elliot died of cancer April 29, 2006, with his family at his bedside. He was 64.

Born and raised in Columbus, Ga., he prepared at Columbus High School and Valley Forge Military Academy. At Princeton he majored in architecture, played football and rugby, and was a member of Charter Club.

After Princeton, Elliot received degrees in architecture and industrial management from Georgia Institute of Technology and in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. His postgraduate education was interrupted by service as a captain in the Army Corps of Engineers, when he earned an Army Com-mendation Medal and a Bronze Star in Vietnam.

All this prepared him well for a successful career in architecture and urban development in the Philadelphia area, including founding Baker Rothschild Horn Blyth and the Rothschild Co. He also worked with Bower Lewis Thrower, Architects.

To Elliot's survivors — his wife, Sandra; daughters Stephanie, Sandra, and Karen; and son Wilson — his classmates offer their sincere condolences.
