Richard E. Kellogg

Richard E. Kellogg, professor emeritus of architecture at the University of Arkansas, died Wednesday, July 11, 1007 in Fayetteville. Kellogg taught design, technology, computer rendering and freehand drawing to architecture students for 26 years. Born June 10, 1930 in Moline, Illinois, to Carlton and Luella Smith Kellogg, Dick Kellogg earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree at Tulane University in 1953 and a Master of Science degree in architecture at Columbia University in 1963. He was a first lieutenant in the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers 1954-56. From 1956 to 1970 he taught at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, La., also serving as chairman of the architecture department there. He came to the University of Arkansas in 1970. Kellogg practiced in Louisiana and Arkansas, focusing primarily on residential work. He was an early champion in Arkansas for inclusive design. He was recognized for his efforts to promote barrier-free design by the Consumer Advisory Council in 1977, and in 1978 Gov. David Pryor appointed him to the Arkansas Advisory Committee on Equal Access for the Handicapped. Murray Smart, a professor emeritus of architecture and former dean of the School of Architecture, met Kellogg when they were both students at Tulane University, and later hired him. Smart said: ""Dick loved every component of architecture. He was fascinated by technology, structure, site planning, and form. He thought architecture could contribute to good living, stewardship of the earth and relating to neighbors-all things that make our world a better place to live.'' Following his retirement in 1996, Kellogg traveled extensively, documenting sites around the world with deft watercolor sketches. His work was exhibited at the School of Architecture last fall. Kellogg is survived by Jacquelin Nelson Kellogg, his wife of 54 years; four children and their spouses, Michael and Mary Kellogg of Madison, Wis., Thomas and Kinga Kellogg of Silver Spring, Md., Clyde and Jean Kellogg of Capon Bridge, W. VA., Linn Tomlinson and husband Gary of Catoosa, Okla., daughter in law Kristine Ellor of Kennett Square, PA., and six grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his eldest son, Douglas Kellogg. The funeral Mass will be Tuesday, July 17, at 10:30 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, in Fayetteville, with Father John Antony officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association, favorite charity, or St. Joseph 's School Fund.
