Biography from the American Architects and Buildings database

Francis A. Gugert was born in Pottsville, PA, the son of Theodore Gugert. He attended Drexel Institute, and during the years 1891-93 he studied mechanical engineering at the Towne Scientific School of the University of Pennsylvania. Until 1921, when he became associated with architects David Knickerbacker Boyd and Victor Abel in Boyd, Abel & Gugert, he maintained an independent practice in Wayne, PA, associated with the residential developments of Wendell and Smith. As part of Boyd, Abel & Gugert, this activity was continued. Gugert continued with that firm until his death in 1939 at the age of 66.

In 1925 Gugert became a member of the national American Institute of Architects. He was also a member of Phi Kappa Psi and the First Presbyterian Church of Wayne.
