W. HUNSIKER DIES; 25 YEARS A LEADING ARCHITECT IN DENVER. He Designed and Built Many of Finest Apartments and Homes in City. Clement W. Hunsiker, for twenty-five years a prominent real estate man and architect of Denver, died yesterday morning at 5 o'clock at his residence, the Park Avenue apartment house. Hunsiker was a popular member of Denver Lodge No. 17 of the Elks and that organization will hold its ritualistic service Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the I. N. Rogers Funeral Parlors. Hunsiker was a man of culture and education. He came to Denver twenty- five years ago because of tubercular trouble. Born in Collegeville, Pa., May 29, 1851, he lived there until October 5, 1888, when he came to Denver. Hunsiker's first venture here, was as the builder and proprietor of the old Richelieu Hotel, at one time the most exclusive in the city. It has since become the Navarre. The work proved too confining and Hunsiker took up the architectural profession. He designed and built many of the finest apartment houses and private residences in the city. At the time of his death in the Park Avenue apartments, which he designed and built, he had drawn the plans for the erection of an elaborate and up to date apartment of fire-proof type. Hunsiker is survived by his widow, known in musical circles as Mrs. Flora Smith Hunsiker, an accomplished soloist. He left two married daughters; also Mrs. George K. Fischer, who lives with her family in Switzerland, and Mrs. Willis Thorndyke of Baltimore, Md; his father, the Rev. Henry A. Hunsiker of Germantown, Pa., and a brother, Alvin H. Hunsiker, president and general manager of the Standard Oilcloth Company, of New York. ----------------------- Funeral Notice: Rocky Mountain News, March 13, 1911: HUNSICKER - At Park Avenue apartments, Sunday March 12, 1911.
