Kirtland Cutter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirtland Kelsey Cutter (August 20, 1860–September 26, 1939) was a 20th century architect in the Pacific Northwest and California. Born in East Rockport, Ohio, he studied at the Art Students League of New York. Most of Cutter's work is listed in State and National Registers of Historic Places.
His design for the 1893 Chicago's World Fair, Idaho Building, was a rustic design log construction. It was a popular favorite, visited by an estimated 18 million people. The building's design and interior furnishings were a major precursor of the Arts and Crafts movement.
