  • Frank Russell White (May 2, 1889 – October 24, 1961) was an American architect who designed hotels, apartment buildings, commercial properties, and thousands of homes in Washington, D.C. A native of Brooklyn, White's family moved to the nation's capital during his childhood. Although he had no formal training, White was tutored by local architect Albert H. Beers and designed thousands of buildings for developer Harry Wardman. White designed buildings in various styles, including Art Deco, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, and Mediterranean Revival. One of his most well-known works is the Wardman Park Hotel, which was demolished in the 1970s and replaced with a modern building. One of his apartment designs, Clifton Terrace, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. White's personal life was often tumultuous, including his first marriage to an aspiring actress. During the Great Depression he experienced financial difficulties and was arrested on counterfeit charges along with his future second wife. After serving a two-year prison sentence, White continued to design buildings until his death in 1961. (en)
