ROLLIN C. CHAPIN (Rollin Coe Chapin) - Vol II, pg 737 Rollin C. Chapin, one of the younger and successful architects of Minneapolis and a native son of the city, was born July 12, 1888, his parents being Harold C. and Virginia E. (Coe) Chapin, the former a native of La Crosse, Wisconsin, while the latter was born in Minnesota. The father was prominently known in journalistic and publishing circles in the city. He was city editor of the Tribune for a time and was one of the survivors of the Tribune fire of 1888. He later organized the Chapin Publishing Company and began the publication of the "Improvement Bulletin." He also conducted the Western Press Clipping Exchange, and continued in the business until his death, which occurred in 1912. There are two sons and a daughter: Rollin C., Harold F. and Eunice E. At the usual age Rollin C. Chapin became a pupil in the public schools of Minneapolis and later attended the University of Pennsylvania, in which he pursued a course in architecture, finishing in 1912. Having thus thoroughly qualified for his chosen profession, he began work with Harry W. Jones, and later with Hewitt & Brown. Tyrie & Chapman and other Twin City firms until 1920, when he opened an office for himself and has since practiced independently, with good success.
On the 12th of September, 1914, Mr. Chapin was married to Miss Nancy E.
Brewster, a daughter of Charles E. Brewster, representative of an old family of
Minneapolis. At the time of the World war Mr. Chapin served with the
Construction Division of the army, at Washington, D. C., giving a year and a
half to the service. In politics he maintains an independent course. He is a
member of the Sixth Church of Christ, Scientist, and also of the Young Men's
Christian Association. He has membership in the Minnesota Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects, also belongs to the Professional Men's Club
and is a member of the Architects Small House Service Bureau. He finds
recreation in tennis, skating and swimming and his participation therein keeps
him physically fit to meet the growing demands that are made upon him in a
professional connection.
