Abstract

The Fred F. French Companies was established in New York City by Fred Fillmore French (1883-1936) in 1908. French was a real estate developer who financed the construction of the Tudor City and Knickerbocker Village housing developments, and the Midtown skyscraper that bears his name. The Fred F. French Companies records, dated 1902 to 1988, consist of financial, legal, and promotional materials in a range of formats including project development binders and scrapbooks; correspondence; legal agreements; stock ledgers and certificates; prospectuses; brochures; photographs; watercolors; and architectural blueprints and renderings that document French's distinctive approach to developing real estate in New York City during the early to mid-20th century.
