George Gregory Gunn
George Gregory Architect, died peacefully on August 14, while being treated for a long
term illness at Barnes Jewish Extended Care. He was 83. Gunn was born February 17,
1927 in Versailles, Missouri to Aubrey Jackson Gunn, MD and Alma Clodfelter Gunn. He
was predeceased by a sister Martha Gunn and brother Jack Gunn, MD. Gregory Gunn
was from four generations of medical doctors in Versailles. Gunn's great-greatgrandfather,
Street Thruston, was appointed by the first County Court of Versailles to
locate a county seat. He recommended in 1835, the site where Versailles stands at present.
Following the family legacy, Gunn studied Pre-medicine at the University of Missouri,
Columbia, however felt as though his calling was in architecture. He subsequently enrolled
in the School of Architecture at the University of Kansas where he graduated in 1954.
Included in his studies at the University of Kansas were studies abroad at the Ecoles D'Art
Armericaines, Fountainbleu, France. Gunn began his career in Jacksonville, Florida where
he designed several international style houses. During the early 1960s Gunn decided to
move to St. Louis where he gained employment at HOK. He soon founded his own firm
Gregory Gunn, Architects in the historic Wainwright building in downtown St. Louis
where he applied his love of early 20th century modernist Architecture on residential and
commercial projects. In 1985 Brian Smith was employed as a draftsman at Gregory Gunn,
Architects which was then located in the Dogtown neighborhood. In 1987 Smith was made
an associate and partner. The firm's name changed to Gunn and Smith Architects in
October 1993 once Smith became a registered architect. Gunn retired from the practice in
1997. Services: The body was cremated and will be buried in his home town of Versailles,
Missouri. Gunn is survived by many friends and family. Contributions may be made to the
