Frederick George Frost ’30 *32

Body

FRED FROST died suddenly Oct. 6, 1991. He was one of our most loyal members, having served as treasurer and acting as second V.P. at the time of his death.

Fred came to Princeton from New Rochelle High School. He was a member of Terrace Club and in his senior year rowed on the championship 150pound crew that went on to row at Henley.

Fred studied architecture at Yale for one year but returned to Princeton for his M.F.A. in architecture in 1932. He then joined his father's firm in New York, where he continued to practice until his retirement in 1978. His son Corwin '56 was a member of the firm as was Don Dodge '30, at one time. Fred designed many buildings in New York and elsewhere, too numerous to list here. His prominence led to many honors: representative on the Union Internationale des Architects at the United Nations, membership on the New York Board of Architectural Examiners, president of the New Yor

Chapter of the A.I.A., and trustee of the Rhode Island School of Design. He was also president of the Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville. Fred's first wife, Gwen, whom he married in 1933, died in 1986. In 1987 he married "Skippy" Salfeety, who died just months before Fred. Survivors include his brother Robert '33; two sons, Corwin'56 and Frederick 111; one daughter, Claudia Dole; and eight grandchildren. To them we extend our deep sympathy on the loss of this loyal and generous son of Princeton.
