WILLIAM KECK (1908-1995)
GEORGE FRED KECK (1895-1980)
William Keck was born in Watertown WI. He and his brother George developed the "House of Tomorrow" for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. He married Stella, and they had a daughter, Margaret.
George Fred Keck was born in Watertown WI and studied engineering for a year at the University of Wisconsin and later at the University of Illinois. Starting in the 1920s, he worked for D. H. Burnham and Schmidt Garden Martin. He started his own practice in 1926, and was joined by his younger brother William five years later. Keck became a pioneering designer of passive solar houses after realizing that the all- glass "House of Tomorrow" was warm inside on sunny winter days prior to the installation of the furnace. Following this he gradually started incorporating more south-facing windows into his designs. Keck taught architecture at IIT in Chicago and was the head of architecture there until 1942, appointing Ralph Rapson as his successor. Rapson also worked in George Keck's office during this period. The University of Illinois in 1980 awarded the two brothers its first Illinois Medal in Architecture, given in recognition of a lifetime of professional dedication and excellence.
Their firm designed 300 houses throughout the Chicago area, Wisconsin and Michigan. They also created pre-fab houses that could be erected in three days.

Over the wings, the roofs form decks, enclosed by pipe rails, a nautical touch popular for modernistic houses. A tripartite picture window with a ladder-like series of squares running vertically down the center pierces each of the three building blocks.
