Sutton and Whitney

  • American

During the 1910s and 1920s, Sutton & Whitney ranked among the leading architectural firms of the Pacific Northwest. The firm formed in 1912, a joint venture of Albert Sutton and Harrison A Whitney. The firm grew quickly and established offices in both Portland and Tacoma, Washington. As described in 1922 by C H Carey, their [Sutton and Whitney] excellent work and thoroughly reliable and progressive business methods have secured for them a large and constantly increasing patronage, so that they have become well known as leading architects throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the firm grew, Whitney headed the Portland branch while Sutton chose to head the office in Tacoma. In 1923, Sutton died unexpectedly. The firm however continued to operate under Sutton & Whitney until 1933, when the firm name changed to Sutton, Whitney & Aandahl. In 1950, the name again changed to Whitney, Hinson & Jacobsen. - NRHP, 16 April 2008
