Frederick Manson White
Frederick Manson White, commonly known as F. Manson White, was an American architect based in Portland, Oregon. White was known for his work in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Among the buildings he helped design, as part of the firm McCaw, Martin and White, or designed as a sole practitioner, are several that are on the National Register of Historic Places. These include the Imperial Hotel, Waldschmidt Hall at the University of Portland, the Dekum Building, the Auditorium and Music Hall, the Sherlock Building, the Flatiron Building, Woodrow Wilson Junior High School and the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts in Eugene, the First Presbyterian Church in Medford, and the Corvallis Hotel in Corvallis. White also designed Agate Hall on the campus of the University of Oregon, and the Central Presbyterian Church in Portland.
Some sources have reported that White was the nephew of the prominent New York architect Stanford White, although this reported relationship has been seriously questioned.
