Biographical Note
Claude Raymond "Butch" Butcher graduated with a B.S. in Architecture
from Kansas State College in 1924, where he was awarded a medal of honor for
scholarship by the American Institute of Architects. After graduating, he
worked for several architects, including Charles W. Shaver of Salinas, Kansas,
J. M. Pehrson of Spokane, Washington and Whitehouse & Price of Spokane.
Later he worked with Whitehouse & Church in Portland, Oregon and with
Stanton & Johnson of Portland.
From 1926-1928 he was a designer in the office of the College
Architect at Washington State College and taught architecture there for two
years. During the Depression he worked for the Public Administration Works as a
field representative and construction inspector. In 1935 he moved to Portland
and began doing design work there, specializing in residences. Many of his
designs during this period are considered outstanding.
Butcher's interest in drawing developed while teaching at Washington
State College. The series of renderings by Hugh Ferris depicting Solomon's
temple greatly influenced him and led to his experimenting with carbon pencils.
He uses all grades of Wolff's pencils in his renderings, usually with a very
fine point. Values are built up by scumbling until they correspond to
previously worked out value studies done on tracing paper. He almost always
laid out the perspectives himself. In 1952, The Oregon Chapter of the A.I.A.
made a special award to him "in recognition of his exceptional achievements as
an architectural delineator."
Content Description
The collection includes finished renderings as well as preliminary
drawings and layouts on tracing paper and some blueprint floorplans and
elevations used in the process, of various Northwest architects from the 1920s
to the 1960s in Folders #1-22. Folders #23-41 contain Butcher's own designs,
mostly working drawings and preliminary sketches, and mostly undated. The
