Charles Frisbie Chubb
Charles Frisbie Chubb graduated in 1897 from the University of Michigan, where he was a hurdler on the track team. When he returned to Pittsburgh, he joined the real estate firm of George Brothers. In 1915, he resigned that position to become the business manager for Henry Clay Frick, and headed the Frick estate after the latter's death in 1919. During that time, he oversaw management the development of Frick Park and construction of the Union Trust Building in downtown Pittsburgh.
Chubb's background in real estate made him a strong candidate to lead Dollar Bank, with its extensive portfolio of mortgage lending. He served as president of the bank for 13 years and was on its board of directors for 27.
A lifelong outdoors enthusiast, Chubb was a director and secretary-treasurer of the Greater Pittsburgh Parks Association, and first president of its successor, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. During his association with these organizations, they acquired the land for what became McConnell's Mill and Ohio Pyle State Parks. For 30 years, Chubb lived and worked on a 340-acre estate in Coraopolis Heights, Hidden Brook Farm, where he planted more than 60,000 evergreens.
He and his wife, Mary Clare Albert Chubb, had three sons. Chubb owned a collection of antique bootjacks, which grew to more than 200 and which he proudly displayed at local gatherings with the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania.
