Frank Bradbury Hollenbeck ’54 passed away on December 8, 2016, in East Hampton, New York, from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. Frank came to Dartmouth from Westport, Connecticut, where he attended Staples High School. At Dartmouth he was an architecture major and active with the Dartmouth Outing Club, the Dartmouth Christian Union and the Players. After graduation he served in the U.S. Army for two years. After his discharge he earned a degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture with the William Kinne Fellows Traveling Prize, which allowed him to study architecture in Europe. Frank began his architectural career with the firm of John Prine in Manhattan, designing luxury apartment buildings. He then moved to New Jersey, where he designed churches, rectories, schools and libraries. In 1966 he moved to East Hampton, where he practiced architecture with projects ranging from Southampton Masonry on Montauk Highway to shingle-style commercial spaces to Most Holy Trinity’s parish hall, the Rowdy Hall complex and hundreds of residences, both grand and modest. He further influenced the East Hampton landscape by serving on the town’s architectural review board and the Barnes Landing Association. Frank is survived by his wife, Joan, and children Lynn ’83, Kenneth, Susan, Karen and Jan.
