Fred Wesley Wentworth

Fred Wesley Wentworth (August 3, 1864 – October 5, 1943) was an American architect known for his extensive contributions to the architectural landscape of Downtown Paterson, New Jersey, as well as various residences and theaters across northeastern New Jersey. Wentworth played a pivotal role in reshaping Paterson following a devastating wind-driven fire that destroyed much of the city's central business district in 1902. His architectural portfolio encompassed a diverse range of building types, including institutional, commercial, residential, religious, and healthcare structures, as well as some of the nation's earliest movie theaters designed exclusively for motion pictures.[1][2][3] He was recognized as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
