Frederick S. Newman (1847-1906) was an American architect based in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Frederick Savage Newman was born August 26, 1847, in Bangor, Maine, to Alden Newman and Nancy (Ellis) Newman. [1] In his youth the family relocated to Henniker, New Hampshire, where he learned the carpentry trade and was educated in the public schools. [2] He later moved to Springfield, where he worked as a carpenter for contractor E. W. Shattuck and as draftsman for engineer A. J. Aldrich and architect Eugene C. Gardner. On November 1, 1882, Newman left Gardner and opened his own office in Springfield. He designed several large buildings in Springfield, and major commissions in Hartford and Philadelphia led him to open branch offices in those cities in 1890 and 1894, respectively. [1]
In later life Newman speculated in real estate and suffered significant losses. Circa 1904 he left Springfield and moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he practiced architecture until his death in 1906. [2]
Newman married in 1867, to Caroline E. Grimes of Peterborough, New Hampshire. They had no children. [1] Newman died March 6, 1906, in Manchester, New Hampshire, after a brief illness. [2]
In the 1880s Newman employed Fred H. Loverin, who would later establish a practice in Buffalo, New York. [3] From 1890 to 1896 he employed Isaac A. Allen Jr., who in 1893 took charge of Newman's Hartford office. In 1896 Allen bought out Newman in Hartford and established his own practice. [4]
Several of Newman's buildings in Springfield, and one in Connecticut, have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
