Frederick G. Scheibler, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick G. Scheibler, Jr. (1872—1958) was an American architect.
He was born May 12 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to William Augustus and Eleanor Seidel Scheibler. His paternal grandparents had emigrated from Düsseldorf, Germany. He attended local public schools, but dropped out at age 16 to become an apprentice architect. From 1888 to 1898 he trained in the Pittsburgh firms of Moser, V. Wyse Thalman and Longfellow, Alden and Harlow.
Scheibler's body of architectural work, nearly 150 commissions over five decades, was in early 20th century Pittsburgh's neighborhoods and suburbs. He is best known for having taken inspiration from international progressive movements like Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts Movement.
