Jarvis Hunt

Hunt was born in Weathersfield, Vermont,^[2] and attended Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.^[3][4]

He had a passion for golf and qualified for the 1904 Olympics Golf Team, but failed to make the cut.^[5] Hunt later designed the clubhouses of several clubs including the National Golf Links of America Golf Course, of which he was a founding member,^[6] and the Chicago Golf Club.^[7]

Most of his projects are associated with the United States Midwest, including the Kansas City Union Station and the Joliet Union Station.^[8] Hunt based his architectural firm in Chicago's Monadnock Building.^[9][10]

Hunt retired to his home in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1927. He died on June 15, 1941, in St. Petersburg.^[7]

Hunt was the son of attorney, farmer and photography pioneer Colonel Leavitt Hunt and his wife, Katherine (Jarvis) Hunt.^[11] His uncles were New York City architect Richard Morris Hunt^[12] and Boston painter William Morris Hunt, and his grandfather was U.S. Congressman Jonathan Hunt.^[13]

Hunt and his wife, the former M. Louise Coleman, had two children: Louisa Hunt McMurtry and Jarvis Hunt Jr.^[14] Jarvis Hunt and his wife later divorced, and he was awarded custody of his two children.^[15]
