Architect - Frank William Cauley (1898-1984)
Born in Chicago, the son of an engineer who worked for Samuel Insull, Frank Cauley "always wanted to be an architect". He graduated from the Armour Institute of Technology in 1922. Before he received his license to practice architecture he designed the Orrington Hotel for the developer Victor E. Carlson. For a time he worked with architect Earl Reed in restoring the office of the Secretary of State and became an expert on the Classical Revival in the Northwest Territory. He went into business on his own, practicing until the 1929 crash. To weather the financial storm, he attended Kent College of Law and received his L.L.B. in 1938. In April 1969, the Illinois Institute of Technology awarded him a J.D.

"Probably the most graceful entrance in Evanston occurs at the southwest corner of Lee Street and Michigan Avenue, where one enters near a bubbling fountain and charming little courtyard. It was built in 1927 by little-known architect Frank M. Cawley." John Macsai, 10/11/2011, The Front Yard column, Evanston Round Table
