Name: Fugman & Uhlrich

Birth/Established: 1899   Death/Dissolved: 1903

 


Biography:  
  This architectural firm was formed by German-born Godfrey Fugman and French-born Emile Uhlrich and was in existence between 1899 and 1903. Buildings by this firm had a very European flair. Notably they included the Art Nouveau J. L. Hudson store and St. Michael's School on Scranton Road. Fugman and Uhlrich developed an alternative to the Group Plan that called for the mall directly north of Public Square, terminating in a railroad station on the lakefront. A rendering of their proposal appeared in the Ohio Architect and Builder. It had a much more European appearance, with a domed City Hall and Public Library. It also had sites for a music hall and art museum.
