Jarvis Hunt (August 6, 1863 - June 15, 1941) was a Chicago architect[1] who designed a wide array of buildings, including railroad stations, suburban estates, industrial buildings, clubhouses and other structures.
Biography
Hunt was born in Weathersfield, Vermont,[2] and attended Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[3][4]
He had a passion for golf and qualified for the 1904 Olympics Golf Team, but failed to make the cut.[5] Hunt later designed the clubhouses of several clubs including the National Golf Links of America Golf Course, of which he was a founding member,[6] and the Chicago Golf Club.[7]
Most of his projects are associated with the United States Midwest, including the Kansas City Union Station and the Joliet Union Station.[8] Hunt based his architectural firm in Chicago's Monadnock Building.[9][10]
Hunt retired to his home in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1927. He died on June 15, 1941, in St. Petersburg.[7]
Family life
Hunt was the son of attorney, farmer and photography pioneer Colonel Leavitt Hunt and his wife, Katherine (Jarvis) Hunt.[11] His uncles were New York City architect Richard Morris Hunt[12] and Boston painter William Morris Hunt, and his grandfather was U.S. Congressman Jonathan Hunt.[13]
Hunt and his wife, the former M. Louise Coleman, had two children: Louisa Hunt McMurtry and Jarvis Hunt Jr.[14] Jarvis Hunt and his wife later divorced, and he was awarded custody of his two children.[15]
