Julian Livingston Peabody

Julian Livingston Peabody (March 29, 1881 – January 24, 1935) was a well-known American architect and soldier who drowned on board the SS Mohawk during a collision with a cargo ship.

He was the eldest of three children born to Charlotte Anita Damon[1] Charles Augustus Peabody Jr., a New York State Assemblyman.

He designed homes for Maxfield Parrish, Augustus St. Gaudens,[14] and author James Norman Hall, a personal friend of the Peabodys, in Tahiti.

[15] During World War I, due to the ill health of his wife, he obtained a position in the Red Cross Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he was quickly made director of the Bureau of Allied Prisoners' Relief.

In the spring of 1918, after his wife's health recovered sufficiently for him to serve, he obtained a commission in the Aviation Division of the U.S. Navy for service in France as an Intelligence officer.
