Charles Logue (1858–1919) was an Irish immigrant to the United States who founded the Charles Logue Building Company. It constructed dozens of churches in and around Boston, as well as Fenway Park.[1][2] It was "one of the top building firms in Boston and [Logue] was the man behind some of the city’s premier construction projects."[3]

Logue was born in Derry, Ireland, and died while inspecting the roof of St. Mary's Church in Dedham, Massachusetts.[1]
