Fred M. Kemp, Founder & Architect
Since 1952, the Kemp Homes Company has built a reputation in our community for designing and building innovative, yet timeless homes. It all started with our founder, Fred M. Kemp, who became inspired by the drawings hanging in Washington University’s School of Architecture. He graduated from WashU in 1950 with a degree in architecture, making him one of the few builders with an architecture background. After graduating, he pursued his dream of merging architectural design with suburban home development to bring well-designed, affordable housing to the St. Louis area.
The history of homebuilding in St. Louis would not be complete without the enduring legacy of Fred M. Kemp. A gifted architect, visionary and past president of the St. Louis Home Builders Association, Mr. Kemp was a nationally recognized leader in the industry. Mr. Kemp introduced many new concepts to the St. Louis community in the 10,000 homes he built during his career. He was the FIRST to design communities with private parks and swimming pool; the FIRST to market new homes with billboards, radio and television; the FIRST to plan for permanent broad open spaces, referred to as common ground within his communities; and the FIRST to build zero lot line homes. Many of these are still considered standard practice in the industry today.
Today, Mr. Kemp’s legacy and passion for building continues with his son, Bill Kemp, and partner Mark Teitelbaum. The same core principles of building quality homes with exceptional design and value remains to this day.
