Arthur Hercz (June 12, 1866 – February 3, 1941) was a Hungarian American architect and artistic director active in Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Educated at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Hercz arrived in Chicago in the early 1890s to work on the German exhibition at the World's Columbian Exposition and remained in the city for the rest of his career.
Along with his then-business partner Adolph Cudell, Hercz designed the Francis J. Dewes House in 1896, a notable Baroque style landmark in Chicago.
[1] In addition to his architectural work, Hercz was director of many large public pageants and festivals, often benefiting civic causes.
The Chicago History Museum maintains a large collection of Hercz's manuscripts posthumously donated by his family in the 1990s.
