Tourtellotte & Hummel

Tourtellotte & Hummel was an American architectural firm from Boise, Idaho and Portland, Oregon.

The firm was established in Boise in 1896 as the private practice of architect John E. Tourtellotte. In 1901, he made Charles F. Hummel a partner in John E. Tourtellotte & Company, and this was announced in February 1902.[1] However it was not until 1910 when Hummel was put on equal footing with Tourtellotte, when the firm became Tourtellotte & Hummel.[2] They both moved to Portland in 1913, although the Boise office was maintained. In 1922 Tourtellotte and Hummel split, and one of Hummel's sons, Frank K. Hummel became partner.

Tourtellotte left the partnership in 1930, remaining in Portland. Hummel continued the office as Tourtellotte & Hummel in Portland until about 1934, and in Boise until 1942. The firm closed in 1942 for the duration of World War II, and resumed in 1946 as Hummel, Hummel & Jones. It is still in business today as Hummel Architects.

gollark: I mean, I don't know if Google actually *does* record random conversations, but it would definitely be something I would be strongly against.
gollark: You're okay with some giant amoral company listening into your conversations? I mean, I get that people... have different opinions on things, but this is... odd, for me.
