Andrew Gault Antoniades Of East Quogue Dies October 6

Andrew Gault Antoniades of East Quogue died after a short illness on October 6 at South Shore University Hospital. He was 87.

He was the son of John A. Antoniades and Anne Gault, a renowned architect and an American diplomat, respectively. During World War II, Mr. Antoniades, his sister, and mother were evacuated to the United States. Unfortunately, his father was detained in Greece. His mother was assigned to posts in Canada over the next four years.

In 1947, Mr. Antoniades’s family returned to Greece, where he spent his high school years and built lifelong friendships. With dual citizenship, he chose to serve in the U.S. Navy for four years during the Korean War.

After the Navy, Mr. Antoniades earned his bachelor’s degree in art and math from Purdue University and subsequently studied architecture at Columbia School of Architecture, where he met his wife Ruth Eide, who was earning her master’s degree in community organization and social planning. They raised their two sons, Alexander “Sander” and Philip on the East End of Long Island, New York City and Athens.

As a licensed architect in Greece and the United States, Mr. Antoniades built a 40-year career in traditional and landscape architecture. He taught at New York institutions such Parsons School of Design and New York Technical Institute, served on numerous committees and planning boards and New York Society of Architects for three years in the late 1990s.

Mr. Antoniades loved retreating to nature and the family home on the East End since 1975. He enjoyed sailing, hiking, swimming in the ocean, and lounging on the beach, and contributed his expertise to architectural projects across Long Island.

He is survived by his wife, sons, grandchildren Sophia and Theo, sister Elizabeth “Betty,” and friends and family members worldwide.

A Funeral Service was held at the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons. Arrangements were entrusted to the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.
