Frederick Kees

Frederick G. Kees was born in Maryland in 1852. He eventually settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1880 after working as a draftsman. [cite book|title=Lost Twin Cities|last=Millett|first=Larry|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|date=1992|isbn=978-0873512732] In 1885, Kees partnered with Franklin B. Long to form the architectural firm Long and Kees. After designing more than 13 buildings (including the Minneapolis City Hall), Kees ended the partnership.
