Biography
Biography
In 1891 he became architect for Aarhus Oliefabrik where he continued to work for the rest of his life. He designed the Ceres Brewery, the buildings in Guldsmedgade 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, Store Torv 7 and the corner buildings on St. Paul's Church Square. In Frimodt Clausen's work can be seen inspiration from Anton Rosen in the early 1900s. Like other architects during this period he made buildings in both the National Romantic and Neoclassical style. He followed the architectural developments as can be seen in P.P. Ørumsgade where a city block was constructed in 1933-35 after designs by Frimodt Clausen in a Functionalist style. Frimodt Clausen died on 7 March 1950 in Aarhus.

Emmerys at the corner of Guldsmedgade and Klostergade in Aarhus. Emmerys is a Danish chain of bakeries and cafées. This was the first and original store. Prior to that, it was a "Konditori" (a Danish version of the French patisserie) for many years, by the same name.

Boligblok ved Sankt Pauls Kirkeplads i Aarhus. Blokken består af tre bygninger opført i 1890, 1896 og 1898, men fremstår som én sammenhængende bygning. Bygningerne er ikke fredede, men bevaringsværdige. De ligger i det nordøstlige hjørne af Skt. Pauls Kirkeplads.
