Robert Bruce Tague

Robert Bruce Tague (1910/1911–1984) was an American modernist architect and abstract artist who lived in Chicago, Illinois.

[3] After seeing George Fred Keck's buildings at the Century of Progress exposition, Tague sought him out as an advisor for his master's thesis.

He was commissioned by Philip Johnson to design a stage for Father Charles Coughlin's Labor Day rally in Chicago on behalf of Union Party presidential candidate William Lemke.

[3] Tague's house for the Frueh family in Highland Park was his most notable building;[2] a local architectural historian found that it had a good case for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

[6] In 1952, he and Crombie Taylor collaborated on the design of a single-family home for Irving Nuger in Elmwood Park.
