Design drawings
of an architect from Portland, Oregon
Milo Pitney Atkins was born in Shannon, Carroll, Illinois on February
21, 1895 to John Pitney Atkins (1860-1959) and Luella Gemmill Atkins
(1866-1929). He had an older sister, Edna M. Atkins Wilkes (1892-1958). He
studied at the University of Illinois in Urbana in 1917, and was drafted for
WWI, living in Freeport, Illinois. He is listed in the 1930 census as an
architect living in a Clinton, Iowa boarding house. He worked for George Waale
who was an architect where Milo was an associate designer for William P. Merry
Co., Realtors. An article in the July 26, 1931 Oregonian announces the Merry firm hiring Milo Atkins,
"recently active as an architect in Chicago and the mid-west and who is well
acquainted with Portland through former residence here." During WWII, Atkins
worked in Seattle at the U.S. Engineers Office, living at 602 Boylston Ave. S.
He died on September 15, 1986 in Portland, Oregon with no immediate surviving
family members.
Portfolio of examples of architectural drawings by Milo Atkins. The
portfolio was probably to show potential clients his work. It contains drawings
of "A Five-Room Colonial Residence" and other house designs along with some
designs for specific client residences. It also contains the plans for a
commercial building. The drawings are on tissue and are hand-colored.
