Doyle & Patterson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doyle & Patterson was an architectural firm that existed in Portland, Oregon from 1908 until 1914. It was a partnership of prolific architect Albert Ernest Doyle (1877–1928) and architect William B. Patterson.

The firm was founded upon receipt of a commission for the Meier and Frank Building, 621 SW 5th Ave., Portland, Oregon. The firm lasted until 1914. Patterson served as the engineer and superintendent for the firm. With the addition of engineer James George Beach, son-in-law of prominent businessman Simon Benson, in 1911, the firm briefly became Doyle, Patterson & Beach,[1] but Beach left in 1912, and the firm's name reverted to Doyle & Patterson.[2] When work dried up in 1914, the partnership dissolved, and by 1915 Doyle was again working under his own name alone.

A number of works of the firms are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
