Herbert Fritz, Jr.

Herbert Fritz, Jr. (1915-1998) was an American architect. He designed several hundred residences and commercial buildings in the Madison, Wisconsin area or elsewhere in Wisconsin and the nation. He had a "distinctly personal modernist sensibility that was strongly influenced by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright." He was an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright during 1938-41.

He was born in 1915 in Sioux City, Iowa. His father Herbert Fritz, Sr., was an architectural draftsman who met Mary Larson, his wife and Herbert Fritz, Jr.'s mother, while working in the offices of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin. Mary Larson was daughter of stonemason Alfred Larson.

In 1952 he designed the Prof. Philip M. & Marian Raup House, at 2908 Oxford Rd. in Madison, Wisconsin that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture, within College Hills Historic District.

There was a different Herb Fritz (1950-2014), also an architect, who served on Tulsa, Oklahoma’s historic preservation commission from 1992 to 2007.
