Frye & Chesterman
Frye and Chesterman was an American architectural firm formed in 1900 by partners Edward Graham Frye (1870–1942)[1] and Aubrey Chesterman (1874–1937)[1] with offices in Lynchburg, Virginia. In 1913 the firm moved to Roanoke, Virginia.[2]
Edward Frye had an established architectural practice in Lynchburg in the 1890s. Aubrey Chesterman was born in Richmond, Virginia, on June 7, 1875. After completing his basic education in Richmond, he studied architecture for five years under Captain M. J. Dimmock, and he worked for Noland and Baskervill in Richmond.[3] His son Aubrey Warren Chesterman (d. 1957) was a prominent architect in Long Island, New York.
