Carter Hugh Manny, Jr. (November 16, 1918 – February 1, 2017 in San Rafael, California) studied architecture under Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe and spent his career as an architect and foundation administrator in Chicago. His work helped shape Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the FBI Building in Washington, D.C., the First National Bank of Chicago, and the addition to the Chicago Board of Trade.
Carter Hugh Manny, Jr., architect and foundation administrator was born in Michigan City, IN on November 16, 1918, the son of Carter H. and Ada Barnes Manny. After attending public schools in Michigan City, he went on to Harvard where he was Phi Beta Kappa and graduated magna cum laude in 1941. During his last year as an undergraduate Manny began his architectural studies at the Graduate School of Design under Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. With war clouds gathering in mid-1941, he shifted to a special war production program at the Harvard Business School where he obtained a degree in Industrial Administration in 1942. During WWII he worked for a division of the War Production Board at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.
After the war Manny returned to architectural studies, first with a brief stint as an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin and then with two years under Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Following graduation from IIT in 1948 he began architectural practice with the Chicago firm of Naess & Murphy, becoming a partner in 1957. He spent his entire professional career with this firm and its two successors, C.F. Murphy Associates and Murphy/Jahn, until he retired at the end of 1983.
