Biographical History

Francis R. Meisch was born in 1915 in Saint Paul. He attended Saint Paul schools, and attended the University of Minnesota for his Bachelor of Architecture degree. He received his Master in Architecture degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Meisch was employed as an architect by Northwest Airlines (1942-1950), where he was responsible for designing hangars, shops, restaurants, offices, aircraft modification centers, passenger station facilities, and airports. He was also part of several technical committees responsible for airport design across the nation, which included input into the redesign of the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport (MSP). Meisch was employed at the Cerny Associates architectural firm from 1954-1964.

In addition to his career in architecture, Meisch created and exhibited etchings, dry points, and watercolors for which he was best known. He was a member and president of the Minnesota Artists Association, and a member of the Twin Cities Watercolor Society and other artists' groups. He died January 16, 1998, in Edina, Minnesota.
