Frank Joseph Novak Sr. (March 17, 1877 – October 11, 1945) was an American architect, real estate developer and builder. Active in Baltimore, he was known for constructing many of East Baltimore's famous rowhouses with marbled steps. He was the most prominent builder in Baltimore's Czech-American community. His prolific construction of housing for working-class immigrants earned him the nickname, "The Two-Story King of East Baltimore".[1][2]
