Historical NoteReturn to Top
John Graham & Company began with the work of John Graham, Sr., who established himself as an architect in Seattle during the early 1900s. He formed a number of partnerships before establishing himself as Graham & Painter. His son, John Graham, Jr. also studied architecture and eventually joined his father's practice. Graham & Painter became John Graham & Company during the 1940s and continued until John Graham, Jr. retired from practice in 1986. After his retirement in 1986, John Graham & Company architect Rodney Kirkwood merged the company with the DLR Group to form DLR/John Graham Associates.
John Graham, Sr. (1873-1955)
John Graham, Sr. was born in Liverpool, England. He acquired his professional architectural skills in England through apprenticeship training. He moved to Seattle to establish himself as an architect in 1901, following a period of extensive travels that included a visit to the Puget Sound region. He briefly partnered with Alfred Bodley in 1904, before forming a partnership with David J. Myers in 1905. The partnership, Graham & Myers lasted from 1905 until 1910. Graham & Myers designed several apartment buildings, the Kenney Presbyterian Home, and several pavilions for the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
After separating from Myers, Graham started his own practice in 1910. His earliest works from this era include the Joshua Green Building (1913); and the Ford Assembly Plant in Lake Union (1913). He worked as a supervising architect for many of Ford's buildings, opening an office in Detroit from 1914 to 1918. His works over the next decade were mainly commercial buildings characterized by classical elements and terracotta ornamentation, including the Frederick & Nelson department store building (1916-1918); the Dexter Horton Building (1921-1924); and an early branch of the Bank of California, (1923-1924).
Graham became very adept in the Art Deco style, designing several Art Deco buildings in Seattle, including the Roosevelt Hotel (1928-1929); the Exchange Building (1929-1931); the Bon Marche store (1928-1929); and, together with Bebb & Gould, the U. S. Marine Hospital campus (1931-1934). Graham formed a partnership with William L. Painter as Graham & Painter from 1936 until 1942. At the same time, John Graham's son, John Graham, Jr., joined the firm's office in New York. Once his son returned to Seattle in 1946, Graham began to transfer his practice to his son until his death in Hong Kong in 1955.
John Graham, Jr. (1908-1991)
John Graham, Jr. began his architectural training at the University of Washington in 1926 before transferring to Yale University where he received his B.F.A. in 1931. After a brief time in statistical merchandising for retail establishments, Graham joined his father's successful architectural practice in 1937, opening a branch office in New York City with William Painter as partner. The office, Graham & Painter, New York, lasted from 1936 until 1942, and focused on department store design. After World War II began, business declined and Graham closed the branch and began to design war housing and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) housing that included Washington DC's Suburban Heights (1944); and Sunny Brook (1942); as well as Edgewater Park in Seattle (1939).
Graham returned to Seattle in 1946, eventually taking over his father's architectural practice. Under John Graham, Jr., the firm designed over 1,000 commercial projects that included the Washington Natural Gas Headquarters (1964), and the Westin Towers in Seattle (1969). Perhaps most famously, John Graham and Company specialized in the design of large shopping malls, designing over seventy multi-million dollar shopping centers that included Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle (1950); and Capitol Court in Milwaukee (1957); Lloyd Center in Portland (1960); and the Ala Moana in Honolulu (1960). These regional shopping centers were the first of their kind in the country and Graham is widely credited with the design of the modern shopping mall.
Graham was licensed to practice architecture in ten states. After partnering with Roderick Kirkwood in 1974, the firm went on to complete the Bank of California Building in Seattle (1974); the Wells Fargo building in San Francisco (1966); the Alaska State Office Building in Juneau (1975-1975); and the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma (1984-1986). His most well-known project, however, is the design and execution of the Space Needle he developed with Victor Steinbrueck and John Ridley for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Graham retired in 1986, five years before his death in 1991.

focused on work in the Seattle area that included apartment buildings,
religious structures, and several pavilions for the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition. After the partnership dissolved, Myers worked with David Shack as
Shack & Myers, and Arrigo M. Young as Shack, Young & Myers. Later
drawings from David Myers are described in the Guide to the TRA Drawings.

an additional four stories. The building was constructed by Chrisman and Snyder
and was finished with a cast-stone exterior and unusual cantilevered walls that
allowed for large, unobstructed display windows. Pine Street Center was one of

Bebb & Gould, circa 1930 Two projects have been identified as part of the Carl Could
architectural drawings collection that have been presented here for reference.
Since the firm of Bebb & Gould is primarily associated with these projects,
drawings pertaining to these projects can be found in the Carl Could
architectural drawings collection. While continuing to operate his independent practice, John
Graham, Sr. worked in association with the firm of Bebb and Gould on several
projects during the early 1930s. The United States Public Health Marine
Hospital, designed by Bebb & Gould with John Graham as an associate, is
considered to be one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the
Northwest.

Graham & Priteca, circa 1940 John Graham, Sr. worked with Benjamin Marcus Priteca to design
the Sand Point Housing Project during World War II. Marcus Priteca continuously
maintained his own independent architectural practice as Marcus Priteca,
Architect, 1911-c.1964. It is believed that the names as they appear on the
drawing indicate the collaboration between the two architects rather than an
actual practice.

Authority of Seattle. John Graham, Sr. and Marcus Priteca, operating as Graham
and Priteca, completed the design that included 150 units of housing for
enlisted men at the Naval Air Station. Graham and Priteca completed the design
with Seattle landscape architects E. Clair Heilman and Noble Hoggson.

Graham & Painter, 1936-1942 The partnership formed between John Graham and William Painter
as Graham & Painter operated in Seattle and New York City during the late
1930s. As the economy improved, John Graham, Jr. separated from his career in
retail merchandising and business, joining his father's practice in New York in
1937. After World War II broke out, John Graham, Jr. separated again to focus
on war housing and FHA financed housing projects on the East Coast. Graham, Sr.
and Painter continued without the younger, focusing on commercial projects in
urban settings in a variety of styles, including the streamline Coca-Cola
Bottling Plant on First Hill in Seattle, 1939, described in the Photographs
series.

Four different street-view renderings of a department store
building with covered sidewalk in an urban setting. Differing views show the
building in the art deco streamline moderne style, art deco style, neoclassical
style, and early modernist style. Only one building has "Jordan Marsh" written
over the entrance.Attributed to John Graham, Sr. However, both John Graham, Sr.
and John Graham, Jr. worked with William Painter as Graham and Painter,
1938-1942.

John Graham & Company, 1942-1986 John Graham & Company evolved from John Graham, Sr.'s
architecture practice, which began in 1910. After finishing his studies at Yale
University, John Graham, Jr. joined his father's practice in New York in 1942.
From 1942 until 1946, the two Grahams worked in separate offices in Seattle and
New York. Once his son returned to Seattle in 1946, John Graham, Sr. began to
transfer his practice to his son until his death in Hong Kong in 1955.Drawings contained in the John Graham & Company subseries
are primarily associated with the work that John Graham, Jr. and the John
Graham & Company firm did while John Graham, Jr. operated as managing
partner. However, some earlier drawings during the time the two father and
son's work overlapped in Seattle as John Graham & Company, from 1946 until
1955, cannot be exclusively attributed to either Graham with the available
information. Drawings after John Graham, Sr.'s death in 1955 are attributed to
the firm under John Graham, Jr. These drawings include proposal drawings,
construction drawings, and architectural renderings, some available by
photographic reproduction, with many by architectural delineators Earle Duff
and Ken Duffin. Under John Graham, Jr., the firm grew substantially with
offices throughout the United States and Canada, though the largest offices
were based in Seattle and New York City. Project records in this subseries may contain records and
designs from his partners and associates that can only be identified from the
drawings as John Graham & Company. Architects who may be associated with
these projects include Manson Bennett, Henry A. Birner, Arthur E. Edwards, Jack
Follett, Alan Gerard, Alvin B. Harrison, Roderick Kirkwood, Ivar Paulsen, James
E. Jackson, John Ridley, and Nathan Wilkinson, Jr.

Ken Duffin (Artist)
One color photograph of a rendering by artist Ken Duffin that
shows a multi-story building with pool and marina in a forested setting with
buildings set among the trees. The historic Alderbrook Inn was built in 1913 on the Hood
Canal in Union, Washington. After extensive improvements after World War II,
the resort came to be known for its typical Pacific Northwest architecture. The
resort underwent extensive renovation in 2002, opening again in 2004. The main
lodge of the Alderbrook Inn was demolished at this time and rebuilt, however,
sixteen cottages from the original Alderbrook Inn resort property remained and
were upgraded into luxury cottages. This drawing was likely intended as a
proposal drawing, as no connection between John Graham & Company and the
Alderbrook Inn can be identified.

Madison Avenue. The original design by John Graham and Associates used Seattle
firm Terry & Egan for the interiors of the building. The name and address
of the building was changed to 901 5th Avenue after the sale of the building to
Kennedy Wilson, Inc. of Beverly Hills, California.
One photograph of the downtown Seattle Bank of California
Building is described in the Photographs series. Additional aerial photographs

Chapel Square Mall, Chapel
Street and Church Street, New Haven, Connecticut Chapel Square Mall was originally proposed in 1957 as part of
New Haven's Church Street Redevelopment Project. The urban shopping center,
located in downtown New Haven, began construction in 1960 when the Edward
Malley Company moved from its downtown location to the nearby shopping center.
The store reopened in its new location as Malley's in 1962, however, the
opening of Chapel Square Mall was delayed until 1967. The mall was designed by
Lathrop Douglas, Architects, New York. These drawings were probably intended as
proposal drawings for the redevelopment project, however, John Graham's design
was not used.

J. G. Watts Construction Company, both of Seattle. Inscribed as: Portable and
demountable houses for defense areas.The Garden Park Homes project in Richmond Beach was developed
by Albert Balch during the early 1950s. Seattle architects Miller & Ahlson,
who worked with John Graham, Sr. on the design for the Decatur Apartment
building, were responsible for the master plan. The project included 77 houses:
50 homes designed by John Ridley, who later worked for John Graham &
Company; 25 homes designed by C. C. Wollander; and 2 homes by Chiarelli &
Kirk. It is unknown how this drawing relates to the project as John Graham and
Company's involvement with the project cannot be determined and the drawing is
dated later than the completion date of the project in 1951. The photograph series describes a set of photographs of
residences that includes a similar residence from Riverbrook Homes in East
Paterson, New Jersey, designed by John Graham, Jr. Each photograph is inscribed
by hand on the back with "Garden Park Homes"; the photos may have been used as
a reference, as they are believed to show the Riverbrook Homes development.

Building on 2nd Avenue in 1953, after the purchase of the Insurance Building by
the parent company, United National Corporation, one year prior. At this time,
the ground floor and basement levels were remodeled for United Pacific
Insurance Company offices. Photographed drawings are believed to have been
created for the United Pacific Insurance Company's offices at the Insurance
Building based on the correlation of dates between the drawings and remodeling
activities. At the time of remodeling, plans were also announced for a
five-story addition to United Pacific Insurance Company's headquarters at the

Two photographic prints (color photograph with black and white
duplicate) of an architectural rendering by Earle Duff show the exterior of the
Lighthouse for the Blind manufacturing plant and office building. Lighthouse
for the Blind has operated in Seattle since 1918 to provide treatment,
employment, and rehabilitation for the blind and disabled. During the 1960s,
when this drawing was completed, Lighthouse for the Blind expanded its
facilities in South Seattle as part of a $4.5 million dollar expansion.
Additional buildings added to the complex, including an apartment residence,
were designed by other architecture firms.

Lloyd Center, 2201 Lloyd
Center, Portland, Oregon Lloyd Center opened on August 1, 1960 as an open-air shopping
mall, contentiously claimed to be the largest in the world at the time of its
opening. The shopping center featured an ice rink and multiple public art
installations, including a fountain by Seattle sculptor George Tsutakawa. In
1986, Lloyd Center was sold by Lloyd Corp. to Melvin Simon & Associates of
Indianapolis, who fully remodeled the shopping center to enclose the shopping
center under one roof in 1990. Photographs of Lloyd Center are descibed in the Photographs
series.

Two photographic prints of architectural renderings for the
Meriden Square shopping center include a drawing of the mall's skylit interior
promenade and entrance to the G. Fox & Co. department store; and an aerial
rendering of the site with a view of the geodesic, domed skylight over the
central court. The Meriden Square shopping center was designed by John Graham
& Company in 1971 and featured a barbell design with anchoring department
stores, including G. Fox & Co., on either end of the narrow promenade. The
two-story mall contained an escalator that could accomodate strollers,
wheelchairs, and baggage. The building was remodeled in the late 1980s to
replace the glass skylight with a larger dome, replace the escalators with
glass-enclosed elevators, add an additional anchoring tenant, and update the
interior fixtures. The shopping center underwent additional renovations,
including an expansion to G. Fox & Co. in 1993, and transferred ownership
several times before being acquired by Westfield in 1996. Under Westfield, the
shopping center was renamed as Westfield Shoppingtown Meriden in 1998, and
later shortened to Westfield Meriden in 2005.

Northgate Shopping Center,
401 Northeast Northgate Way, Seattle, Washington Alternate name: Northgate Mall.
The Northgate Shopping Center was conceived and designed by
John Graham & Company with Rex Allison, president of the Bon Marche.
Northgate's 66 acre location, approximately 9 miles outside of downtown
Seattle, originally housed 80 stores interspersed with larger, anchoring
department stores. The stores were accessed by outdoor pedestrian walkways with
service tunnels below. The shopping center doubled in size after the
construction of Interstate 5 and the shopping center's subsequent 25-store
expansion in 1965. After continuous construction through the 1970s, the
shopping center was fully enclosed in 1974. The property was acquired in 1987
by the Simon Property Group of Indianapolis. Northgate is widely credited as
the first shopping mall in the United States.

Willard (Artist)
Two photographic prints, one in black and white and one in
color, of an architectural rendering showing proposed development project with
three rectangular multi-story apartment buildings separated by small parks.
Highways are visible in the background.During the late 1950s, the federally funded Oak Street Area
Redevelopment Project in New Haven rehabilitated several older buildings and
razed several acres of land for a connector to the Connecticut Turnpike that
would link New Haven's suburban areas to the downtown retail core and Yale
University. As part of the project, they also sought to build several hundred
additional square feet of office and retail space, slightly expand Yale
University, and build multiple apartment buildings to house students. The
photographed drawings were possibly intended as proposal drawings, as no
significant connection between John Graham and the Oak Street Area
Redevelopment Project could be determined. Similar proposal drawings for the
nearby Church Street Area Redevelopment Project are also housed in this
collection under Chapel Square Mall.

Rendering of entrance plaza to building.The Olympia Highlands Mall was developed by Ernest Hahn on a
120-acre site as a regional retail center west of Olympia during the 1970s. The
area included a covered mall with 100 specialty shops and the Bon Marche and
J.C. Penney as two of the four anchoring tenants. The site would also include
companion development on adjacent property to include a convenience store,
bank, supermarket, an office park, and multi-family housing. The project was
announced in 1972, though construction on the site did not begin until late
1977. James Going served as the project director for John Graham & Company
on the $40 million project. The property was later renamed "Capital Mall."

building on the shore of Lake Washington; four additional renderings show the
entrance with porte cochere, lounge, dining room, and a typical apartment
residence with a view of Mount Rainier. This set of drawings was probably
intended to be viewed together as a presentation set.The fifteen-story Park Shore cooperative apartment project was
announced in 1960 as a development by the Presbyterian Ministries, now the
Presbyterian Retirement Communities Northwest. The building opened in 1963 and
featured 300 apartment residences, a central dining room, chapel, lobby, hobby
shops, infirmary, and recreational facilities, for residents aged 62 and older.
John Graham & Company later designed an aviary for the building's lobby in
1964.

Sandia Peak Tramway in Albuquerque. The Sandia Peak Tramway was built in 1966
but Graham's design was not used and no buildings except for the tram station
were built. In this proposal, Graham was to build a 64-room hotel with a
revolving restaurant as the terminus of a cable car line that would stretch 3.5
miles to a shopping center, hotel, and motel cluster. The retail and lodging
areas would have also been designed by Graham.

Sheraton Hotel, 601 Pike
Street, Seattle, Washington The Sheraton Hotel was designed by John Graham & Company
in 1979. The original design for the hotel was announced in 1977 and featured a
triangular building with fifty-seven floors and 1200 rooms at a cost of $110
million; the original design was abandoned in 1978, due to rising construction
costs, after demolition of the site's existing buildings. A scaled-down design,
shown in these renderings, was announced at the end of 1978 that featured a
triangular tower with thirty-four stories, 870 guest rooms and a three-story
underground parking garage at a cost of $85 million. This design was used in
the construction of the hotel, which was completed in 1982.

enclosed shopping mall was located on a sixty-seven acre site between
Interstate 5 and Highway 99 and was constructed in two phases. The first phase
was designed by John Graham & Company and featured J. C. Penney as an
anchoring tenant; the second phase would double the size of the 300,000 square
foot mall and add an additional department store. Construction of the mall was
completed in 1973.

Bird's eye perspective of site shows shopping mall, parking
areas, and surrounding roads.Southcenter Shopping Mall was conceived in 1957 as part of a
larger effort to industrialize Tukwila, a community on the Duwamish River south
of Seattle. The 85-acre enclosed shopping center was largest shopping center in
the Metropolitan Seattle area and included 1.25 million square feet of retail
and service areas, with air-conditioning and heating, and parking for 9,000
automobiles. The L-shaped shopping center originally featured the Bon Marche as
the central anchoring tenant, with J. C. Penney, Nordstrom Best, and Frederick
& Nelson as additional anchoring tenants. Department stores for Bon Marche
and Frederick & Nelson were also designed by John Graham & Company. The
shopping center bordered a the Tukwila-Andover industrial park developed
simultaneously. The shopping center opened in 1968.
Photographs of the Southcenter Mall are described in the

Space Needle, Seattle,
Washington The Space Needle was constructed in 1962 by the Howard S.
Wright Construction Company as part of the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle with
its futuristic theme, Century 21. At the time of its completion in April 1962,
the 605-foot Space Needle was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi
River. The tower's design was originally conceived by Edward E. Carlson, and
refined by architects John Graham, Victor Steinbrueck, and John Ridley. Other
designers who contributed to the Space Needle's design include UW Engineering
professor Al Miller, artist Earle Duff, and designer Nate Wilkinson. Graham's
design for the space saucer housing a revolving restaurant in the five-level
tophouse dome was based on his previous design of the revolving restaurant at
the Ala Moana in Honolulu, Hawaii; Graham later obtained the first U.S. Patent
for a revolving restaurant in 1964. The Space Needle was designated a Historic
Landmark by the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board on April 19, 1999. The
Space Needle was renovated and remodeled in 2000.
Photographs of the Space Needle are described in the
Photographs series.Additional preliminary sketches of the Space Needle by Victor
Steinbrueck are held by University of Washington Special Collections.

United Pacific Insurance
Company building, 735 Market Street at St. Helens Avenue, Tacoma,
Washington The five-story United Pacific Insurance Company addition
building was designed by John Graham & Company in 1953 on the north side of
the Medical Arts Building in Tacoma. The building underwent renovations by an
outside firm in 1966 that included refurbishing the lobbies, a mural on the
north wall, and restoration of the sandstone facade. Prior to the addition, the
United Pacific Insurance Company was operating on four stories of the adjacent
Medical Arts Building, also owned by the United National Corporation, and
designed by John Graham, Sr. in 1930. These records can be found in the John
Graham, Sr. architectural drawings subseries under the name "Rhodes Medical
Arts Building."Drawings showing to the United Pacific Insurance Company's
offices at the Insurance Building in downtown Seattle are also contained in
this collection in the John Graham, Jr. subseries under the title "Insurance

West Seattle General
Hospital site, 2600 Southwest Holden Street, Seattle, Washington 1 photographic print : 1 black and white photographic print
Roger Dudley (Photographer)
One photograph of an aerial view of West Seattle that has been
altered to add in a site for the West Seattle General Hospital. The hospital is
shown with several buildings across multiple blocks. The West Seattle General
Hospital was constructed in phases, and it is unknown during which phase this
drawing was made based on the buildings shown. No connection between John
Graham and the design of the hospital can be determined.The West Seattle General Hospital moved from its location on
the second floor of a commercial building at the West Seattle Junction to its
location on Holden Street in 1961. The hospital was constructed in phases: the
first phase saw the construction of a T-shaped building with 80 beds, designed
by William Graff of Smith & Graff, in 1961; a three-story convalescent care
center, designed by Peck & Merriweather, was constructed as the second
phase in 1970; and, as the third phase, Peck & Jensen designed a new lobby,
emergency area, and additional surgical rooms, laboratories, and specialist
areas, in 1973. West Seattle General Hospital was purchased by Highline West
Seattle Mental Health Center in 1995; the hospital was renamed West Seattle
Psychiatric Hospital in 1997, and later renamed Navos in 2008.
