DoyleThe Central Library, Benson Hotel, Reed College, the Meier & Frank building, the U.S. National Bankathese are just a few of the grand Portland icons designed by Albert E. Doyle. During a period of rapid growth in Portland, Oregon, after the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition and before the Great Depression, Doyle (18771928) was the cityas most important architect. Beauty of the City is the first biography of this celebrated architect. Doyleas career was short, just twentyone years. Yet everywhere Portland retains his imprint. Many of Doyleas classical, often white terracotta buildings became venerable city landmarks. He also designed Portland residences, Neahkahnie beach cottages, and houses and banks in Oregon and Washington.Using A. E. Doyleas own diaries and letters and his firmas records, historian Philip Niles traces the architectas life and times in the context of the burgeoning cityscape. As Portland expanded beyond its frontier origins and provincialism, Doyle helped introduce East Coast and European sophistication. Indeed, his refined sensibility influenced the development of the Northwest Regional Style by Pietro Belluschi and John Yeon, among others. Doyle set the standard for elegance and proportion that later architects adapted to more modern stylesahis standard defines Portlandas vibrant core and contributes to the cityas beauty as much today as it did eighty years ago.Readers interested in Northwest history and culture will appreciate this compelling and richly illustrated biography of aPortlandas architecta and the parallel story of the growth of the city.Likewise, architectural historians and those seeking to better understand Portlandas architectural heritage will enjoy reading of Doyleas contributions to this celebrated cityscape.
