EDWARD (NED) DUPAQUIER DART, FAIA (1922-1975)
Dart was born in New Orleans LA, originally named Edouard, and later he changed it to Edward. Everyone called him Ned. He attended UVA for two years then did military service in the Navy and the Marines during WWII. He married Wilhelmina (Wilma) Plansoen in 1946, and they had one daughter and one adopted son. Dart graduated from the Yale School of Architecture in 1949 and went to work for Paul Schweikher and Winston Elting. He opened a side practice in his house in 1950, and also left Schweikher for a few months to work for Skidmore Owings Merrill. He and Wilma are buried in the columbarium of St. Michael's Church in Barrington IL, which he designed. His archives are at the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago.
