Fred G. McCune was an architect based in Wichita, Kansas. Born in Corydon, Iowa, he graduated from Architecture College where he was working as a carpenter. In 1884 he moved to Wichita, working for the Rock Island and Santa Fe railroad as a maintenance worker. In 1894, he began his own architecture business.[1]

He was a member of the Wichita Chamber of Commerce as well as the Order of Elks and Knights of Pythias.[2]

Several of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[3]
