Ernest A. Davidson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernest A. Davidson was an American architect.

Among his works are two National Park Service building complexes at Mount Rainier National Park, both designated National Historic Landmarks:

In 1932, Ernest A. Davidson pondered the result of development in Mt. Rainier's Yakima Park, noting it could be classed as a failure "since the area is far less attractive" than before construction, or it might be considered a great success "since the general appearance and result is far superior to those other developments with which comparison may be made, and 'just grew' like topsy".[1]
