Frederick Louis Roehrig (1857 – 1948) was an early 20th-century American architect. Roehrig was born in LeRoy, New York, the son of the noted "orientalist and philoligist," Frederick L.O. Roehrig.[1] He graduated from Cornell University in 1883 and also studied architecture in England and France.[1] His architectural styles evolved over time, covering the Victorian, American Craftsman, and Neo-Classical styles.[2] Roehrig is particularly known for his many landmark buildings in Pasadena, California, including the Hotel Green, and Pasadena Heritage has occasionally conducted tours of Roehrig's buildings.[2][3]
