Life and career

Pulsifer was born in 1874 in Auburn, Maine, to Haley A. Pulsifer and Lenora A. (Perno) Pulsifer. He was educated in the Auburn public schools, graduating from Edward Little High School in 1896. He then joined the office of Coombs, Gibbs & Wilkinson, Lewiston architects. After ten years he went to Worcester, Massachusetts, where he worked for architects Frost, Briggs & Chamberlain and contractors Norcross Brothers.[1] In 1910 his former employer, Eugene J. Gibbs, called him back to Lewiston, where they formed the partnership of Gibbs & Pulsifer. Gibbs retired in 1927, and Pulsifer formed the new firm of Pulsifer & Eye with Harold M. Eye. They dissolved their partnership in the mid-30s, after which Pulsifer practiced independently in Lewiston.[2][3]
