Fay Kellogg
Fay Kellogg (1871 – July 10, 1918) was described as "the foremost woman architect in the United States" in the early years of the 20th century.〔(Obituary ), ''The New York Times'', July 12, 1918, accessed May 7, 2011〕 She specialized in steel construction.
==Education and early career==
Born in Milton, Pennsylvania and originally intending to become a doctor, Kellogg began studies at Columbian University, now George Washington University, in Washington, D.C. and switched to architecture at her father's urging. She said she had always been handy with tools, and had wanted to build a home for herself, a goal which she eventually realized.〔(Woman Invades Field of Modern Architecture ), ''The New York Times'', November 17, 1907, accessed May 7, 1907〕 She began studying with a German tutor for two years, from whom she learned drawing and mathematics, and then studied for a year at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.〔
She obtained employment with R. L. Davis, where she worked on projects such as the Thirteenth Regiment Armory and the Monastery of the Precious Blood. She then worked at the architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings for one year, after which she went to Paris to study at the atelier of Marcel de Monclos.〔 At the time, women were not admitted to the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and Kellogg vigorously fought for the admission of women to that school during her two years in Paris. She was ultimately successful but too late to avail herself of the opportunity to attend.〔(New York's Real Lure for Women -- Opportunity ), ''The New York Times'', November 12, 1911, accessed May 7, 2011〕
