George E. Hartman Jr. ’57 *60

George died April 13, 2025.

He came to Princeton from Albany Academy. Son of an Army general, it was not surprising that he joined ROTC and was captain of the Princeton Rifle Club junior and senior years. He majored in architecture and took his meals at Cloister Inn. Senior year, George roomed with Whitey Blume, Harry Bruen, Dave Isles, Al Kissling, Jerry Press, Guy Williamson, and Phil Woerner.

After serving in the Army Artillery and attaining the rank of first lieutenant, George returned to Princeton and received an MFA degree in architecture. He worked for the firm of Keyes, Lethbridge & Condon in Washington, D.C., and in 1965 he and a friend formed the firm Hartman-Cox Architects. That same year he married Ann Burdick, an interior designer who was an alumna of Connecticut College. They had two children, Sarah and Joshua.

George designed numerous noteworthy buildings — including several at Mount Vernon College, many along Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C., the headquarters of The Washington Post, and the consulate in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. He also served as the consulting architect for the World War II Memorial. He received many honors and awards from the A.I.A., the Washington Board of Trade, and others. He was a fellow of the American Academy in Rome, served as an adjunct professor at the U. of Maryland and North Carolina State, and was president of the A.I.A. chapter in Washington.

George is survived by his second wife, Jan Cigliano Hartman; his two children and their families; and the distinct buildings that he designed.
