Kirtland Cutter (August 20, 1860 – September 26, 1939) was a 20th-century architect in the Pacific Northwest and California. He was born in East Rockport, Ohio, the great-grandson of Jared Potter Kirtland.[1] He studied painting and illustration at the Art Students League of New York. At the age of 26 he moved to Spokane, Washington,[2] and began working as a banker for his uncle. By the 1920s, Cutter had designed several hundred buildings that established Spokane as a place rivaling Seattle and Portland, Oregon in its architectural quality.[3] Most of Cutter's work is listed in State and National Registers of Historic Places.
