Frederic was one of Nevada's most well-known and prolific architects. He designed over 500 buildings in Nevada and California, including the Main Reno Post Office (Virginia St.), the Riverside Hotel, the Immaculate Conception Church in Sparks, the Fallon City Hall and the legislative wings of the Nevada State Capitol.
Born in Reno, he graduated from Reno High School and the University of Nevada, Reno. He originally pursued a career in mining engineering, but later turned to architecture. He started his own architectural firm in 1909, which he maintained until 1938.
He won silver medals for his work on the Nevada Buildings in the Panama–Pacific International Exposition; a world's fair held in celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal.
He was known for being mindful of what his clients wanted when designing structures. He was one of Nevada's most prolific architects, despite having almost no formal training. To date, he is the only person to have ever held the title of Nevada State Architect.
Frederic had two children, a biological son (Fred Jr) from his first wife, Bessie, and an adopted son (Galen) with his second wife, Rosemary. He was preceded in death by Bessie in 1924 and Fred Jr. in 1953.
