Fred G. McCune, of Wichita, did not begin his business life as an architect, but it must have been foreordained that he should become one. He is one of the high art architects of the city, whose tastes, training and temperament peculiarly fit him for his profession. Mr. McCune was born at Corydon, Wayne county, Iowa, his parents being W. E. and Mary Jane (Kirk) McCune. His early education was obtained in Corydon, Iowa, and he later graduated from Architecture College. After leaving school he was engaged in carpenter and steel construction work. Twenty-six years ago, in 1884, he came to Wichita, and for several years was employed in an executive capacity with the Rock Island and Santa Fe railroads, in the department of maintenance and construction. Nine years later, in 1893, he took up his permanent residence in the city, having left the employ of corporations and entered the field of contracting and architecture on his own account. It was then a field of meager pickings, most of the buildings that men were putting up in those days being constructed with a jack knife, a hammer and a handsaw. Architecture was then exceedingly primitive. But Mr. McCune stuck to it, and today some of the largest jobs in the city of Wichita and beyond its gates have been planned and the work of construction carried to successful culmination by him. Aside from architecture Mr. MeCune's only hobby may be said to be fine horses, which he loves and usually owns. He is a member of the Order of Elks and the Knights of Pythias among the fraternal orders, and is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. McCune was married in 1893 to Miss May Walter, of Kingman, Kan. From this union six children have been born, viz.: Nellie, Guy, Howard, James, Fred, Jr., and Dorothy May.
