Danforth, George Edson (American architect and draftsman, born 1916)
|
Note: George Edson Danforth was born in 1916 in LaHarpe, Kansas. He studied architecture as an undergraduate (1936-40) and graduate student (1941-43) under Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology (formerly the Armour Institute of Technology). While attending IIT he worked as draftsman in the architectural office of Mies van der Rohe from 1939 through 1944, and taught at IIT from 1941 until 1953. After serving in the U.S. Navy (1944-46), Danforth maintained a private practice in Chicago from 1949 through 1961. He was joined by Daniel Brenner and H. P. Davis Rockwell in 1961, naming the firm Brenner, Danforth, Rockwell. Danforth retired from the subsequent firm, Danforth, Rockwell, Carow, in 1980. He also continued an academic career, teaching at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio (1953-59), and at IIT until 1975. Danforth was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 1967. |
