Henry Clay Frick (December 19, 1849 – December 2, 1919) was an American industrialist, financier, and art patron. He founded the H. C. Frick & Company coke manufacturing company, and he was the chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company, which were both absorbed into the U.S. Steel manufacturing concern, formed by J. P. Morgan. He became an investor and he also had extensive real estate holdings in Pittsburgh and throughout the state of Pennsylvania. He later built the Neoclassical Frick Mansion in Manhattan (now designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark), and upon his death donated his extensive collection of old master paintings and fine furniture to create the celebrated Frick Collection and art museum (subject to his wife's life estate).
