Frederick Alwood Pease (1873-1955)
F. A. Pease was the engineer who, in 1903, redesigned Fairmount Road into Fairmount Boulevard, the first divided highway in the United States. Pease began working for the Van Sweringen brothers in 1904 when the two young real estate developers began to envision a garden suburb on the land upon which the Shaker colony was formerly located. In 1906, the Pease Engineering firm designed the extension of Fairmount Boulevard to Lee Road. | Source: Shaker Historical Society
