Houghtaling & Dougan was an architectural practice located in Oregon, United States.[1] The firm was formed by partners Chester A. Houghtaling (1882–1940) and Luther Lee Dougan (1883–1983).[2] Numerous structures designed by them have been recognized on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
History
From 1914 until 1925, the company operated with increasing prominence, achieving notable market status by 1921 owing to their superior architectural designs and reliable client service. Chester Houghtaling, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, received his education at the Lewis Institute of Chicago and gained experience working with Cutter and Malmgren in Spokane, Washington before launching his Portland practice in 1913.[3]
Luther Dougan attended the Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago but departed prior to completing his degree. He relocated to Portland in 1911 and continued his architectural career independently after the dissolution of the partnership.[3] Dougan was distinguished for his proficiency in classical architectural design, as demonstrated in his creation of the Old Elks Temple.[3]</ref> He maintained professional involvement well into his eighties.[2]
