Edwin Walker Houghton, born Aug. 3, 1855 in England, died May 16, 1927 in Seattle. Houghton immigrated to the US in 1884; he worked as a farmer in El Paso, TX, and as an architect in Pasadena, CA, before moving north. In 1889 he arrived in Port Townsend, then on to Seattle. Houghton was one of the Northwest's premier architects. Among the more than 375 buildings he had a hand in were Moore's Arcade Building on 2nd Avenue and the Post-Intelligencer's headquarters. He was the architect of the Moore Theater, and had considerable experience in theater design and worked on venues in Bellingham, Spokane, Tacoma, Aberdeen, and Walla Walla, as well as theaters in British Columbia and Montana.
