Biography:

Godfrey Fugman was born in Wurtemberg, Germany. He was educated in Stuttgart and came to the United States in 1881. He is first listed in Cleveland City Directories in 1885. From 1886 to 1893 he was a partner with C. Frank Cramer. The firm would dissolve in 1893 and reform in 1894 lasting until 1897 when Cramer left to serve in the Spanish American War. Cramer and Fugman were mostly known for their commercial buildings. He was a partner with Emile Uhlrich from 1899 to 1903. Fugman & Uhlrich became known for religious buildings both for Roman Catholic and Protestant congregations, including St. Michael's School on Scranton Road, St. Procop's Church on West 41st Street, the Independent Evangelical Protestant Church on West 44th Street, and Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Youngstown. Most notably they designed the Art Noveau J. L. Hudson Store on Euclid Avenue. The firm's buildings had a European influence in their design. The Fugman & Uhlrich partnership ended in 1903. Uhlrich went on to practice individually while Fugman formed a short - lived partnership with Harry Cone in 1905 before he also went on to practice individually. He also became heavily involved in constructing buildings on investment real estate he owned.
