Mark Fitzpatrick was born on June 27, 1866 and graduated from Fordham University (Bronx, NY) with honors in architecture in the mid 1880s. By the late 1880s, he had established a practice in St. Paul. For a time he was a partner of Charles E. Joy and was employed as local supervising architect of the James J. Hill house (1889-1891), designed by Peabody & Stearns. For one year (1902-1903) Fitzpatrick maintained an office in Minneapolis. He was associated with the magazine Western Architect throughout its entire publishing history and in the last years of his life wrote a "memories" column about old St. Paul for the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper. Fitzpatrick's practice included residences, churches, commercial structures and institutional buildings, among them being a hotel and office building for Burch, Webster, Nash & Hamilton, Spokane Falls, Washington (1887); Home for the Blind; Carling's Restaurant (1908); and the Junior League Building (1909), all in St. Paul. Fitzpatrick died in St. Paul on September 27, 1956.
