Arthur Heun

  • American

Authur Heun (1866-1946) was born in Saginaw, Michigan. At the age of 21, he went to work as a draftsman for Francis Whitehouse, a Michigan architect, and took over Whitehouse's practice in 1893 when Whitehouse retired. Heun appears to have practiced mainly domestic architecture for wealthy clients, although he also designed both the Casino Club and the Art Club buildings in Chicago. Huen was the architect for the Frank D Stout house in Chicago on Sheridan Road and Friar Place; the William McCormick Blair House (Classically inspired); the Albert Loeb House in Chicago; Mrs J O Armour's Mellody Farm estate; an English country style house in Lake Forest, Illinois; and a rustic timber lodge in Traverse City, Michigan, known as "The Timbers," which resembles the Stout's summer resort on Red Cedar Lake (Bulletin, 1946). - NRHP, 1 January 1995
