A. E. Doyle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Ernest Doyle (1877-1928) was a prolific architect in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. He is most often credited for his works as A.E. Doyle.
Doyle was born in Santa Cruz, California, and moved with his family to Portland, Oregon where he ultimately established his practice. He enrolled at Columbia University in 1903, after an apprenticeship with the firm of Whidden and Lewis. While at Columbia, he worked in the office of architect Henry Bacon.
After returning to Portland, he and fellow architect William B. Patterson established their firm Doyle and Patterson, employing among others the young, later-famous architect Pietro Belluschi. Doyle and Patterson's Revival- and Italianate-style works set the tone for other commercial buildings in Portland, especially the use of glazed terra-cotta. A series of residential cabins along the Oregon and Washington coasts inspired a regional style that was widely emulated in the 1930s.
Doyle died in Portland in 1928.
