XOE_CPNWS0057nelsen Nelsen, Ibsen A. (Ibsen Andreas) Ibsen A. (Ibsen Andreas) Nelsen papers 1930-2001 20.5 linear feet Ibsen A. (Ibsen Andreas) Nelsen was a well-known Seattle-based architect and influential figure in American art and architecture. The Ibsen A. (Ibsen Andreas) Nelsen papers include the plans, drawings, contracts, photographs, newspaper clippings, slides, and microfiche relating to the buildings he designed from the early 1950s to 2000. Collection materials are in English and Japanese.

Ibsen Nelsen was a well-known Seattle-based architect and influential figure in American art and architecture. He was born in Ruskin, Nebraska in 1919 to a Danish immigrant father who worked as a cabinet maker. He served in the army during WWII in the Pacific theater and earned 2 Bronze Stars. Upon his return he married his life partner, Ruth Hanawalt with whom he had four children. He attended the University of Oregon where he earned his degree in architecture in 1951. He then moved to Seattle and began his architecture career.

Nelsen is best known for his design of Seattle’s Museum of Flight, the Stewart House and Inn at the Market in the Pike Place Market, Merrill Court townhouses, and many of the buildings on Western Washington University’s campus in Bellingham. However, Nelsen also designed many smaller projects including personal residences that earned him accolades. Nelsen’s home that he designed and built on Vashon Island, which he called Island Farm, reflects his style: an eye for modernity blended with a reverence for the past.

Nelsen was also vitally involved with his community and served on many boards. His interests centered upon historic preservation and urban renewal in Seattle. Ibsen Nelsen died in 2001.

The Ibsen A. Nelsen papers (1930-2001) include the plans, drawings, contracts, photographs, clippings, slides, and microfiche from the buildings he designed. They span from the early 1950s to 2000 documenting his career as an architect in Seattle. Some of his more prominent designs include the Pacific Museum of Flight, the Stewart House and Inn at the Market in the Pike Place Market, Merrill Court townhouses, and Bond Hall, Arntzen Hall, the Northwest Environmental Studies Center on Western Washington University’s campus in Bellingham.

Among his personal papers are some biographical materials and articles written about Nelsen. Also, there are papers documenting his civic activism, the writing and speeches he gave, and the clippings he collected that reflect his interests. In addition, the collection includes his correspondence throughout his adult life.  The recipients include his family and well-known artists and architects Isamu Noguchi, Fred Bassetti, George Bartholick, Victor Steinbrueck, Mary Randlett, Morris Graves, and Tom Robbins.
