Richard H. Martin Jr. (1858–1950) was a prominent architect in the Pacific Northwest. Martin was born in England, and emigrated to Portland, Oregon, with his parents in 1874. His father was a builder and stonemason. In 1891 he became an American citizen. Martin worked as a draughtsman in the office of Warren Heywood Williams until Williams's death in 1888 and then went into partnership with Alexander M. Milwain. He is credited with designing the Pacific Northwest Industrial Exposition Building in Portland, Oregon in 1888, although Chauncey B. Seaton is credited in various other sources as its designer. It was completed in 1890, not long after the Great Fire of Spokane. The large structure burned in 1910. By 1889 Martin had formed a partnership with William Frederick McCaw. Frederick Manson White joined as a draughtsman a couple years later and became a full partner in McCaw, Martin & White not long after. In 1896, Martin married Hattie L. Houghton, and their son, Richard L. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pacific Northwest
The Pacific Northwest (sometimes Cascadia, or simply abbreviated as PNW) is a geographic region in western North America bounded by its coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains to the east. Though no official boundary exists, the most common conception includes the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington (state), Washington, and Idaho, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Some broader conceptions reach north into Alaska and Yukon, south into northern California, and east into western Montana. Other conceptions may be limited to the coastal areas west of the Cascade Mountains, Cascade and Coast Mountains, Coast mountains. The variety of definitions can be attributed to partially overlapping commonalities of the region's history, culture, geography, society, ecosystems, and other factors. The Northwest Coast is the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest, and the Northwest Plateau (also commonly known as "British Columbia Interi ...

Great Fire Of Spokane
The Great Spokane Fire—known locally as The Great Fire—was a major fire which affected downtown Spokane, Washington (called "Spokane Falls" at the time) on August 4, 1889. It began just after 6:00 p.m. and destroyed the city's downtown commercial district. Due to technical problems with a pump station, there was no water pressure in the city when the fire started. In a desperate bid to starve the fire, firefighters began razing buildings with dynamite. Eventually winds died down and the fire exhausted of its own accord. As a result of the fire and its aftermath, virtually all of Spokane's downtown was destroyed, though only one person was killed. The cause of the fire was never determined. Theories included a cooking fire in a lunchroom, a curling iron being heated in a kerosene lamp, and a spark from a passing train. Three cities in Washington had "great fires" in the summer of 1889. The Great Seattle Fire destroyed the entire central business district of Seattle on Ju ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
