Paul Kirk with Architectural Rendering, Seattle, 1968
Although the Seattle Post-Intelligencer lists identified this photograph as Paul Hayden Kirk, comparison with other published photographs of Kirk bring the identity of this architect into question.
Kirk studied architecture at the University of Washington and practiced in Seattle from the 1930s through the 1970s. His early specialty was residential, but he branched out into religious and public architecture. In 1960, he co-founded architectural firm Kirk, Wallace, McKinley & Associates, where he would’ve been a partner at the time this photograph was taken. Kirk was also a Board member of the Washington State chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Roald Amundsen with Elephant at Woodland Park, Seattle, ca. 1921
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first to reach the South Pole, but the Arctic was his first love. He designed his own ship, named it for Queen Maud of Norway, and christened it with a block of ice. The well-equipped expedition set off from Norway in June 1918 to explore the area near the North Pole. The ship spent its first two winters frozen in Arctic ice. In 1921, the “Maud” came to Seattle for repairs before heading back to the Arctic. Amundsen brought two Chukchi girls with him, with the aim of providing them with European education. The younger girl was named Cakonita Amundsen and the older one Camilla Carpendale. They both came from Siberia and belonged to the ethnic group Chukchi, who are closely related to the Inuit or Eskimo peoples of Alaska. Amundsen took the girls to Norway, but after about three years they returned to the Arctic and eventually settled in British Columbia.
