Victor N. J. Jones

Victor Noble Jarrott Jones (April 21, 1900 – December 14, 1969) was a Canadian-American architect. Born in Exeter, Ontario, he immigrated to Seattle with his parents and attended the University of Washington, graduating in 1924. After receiving his Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1926, he worked for a number of local architects before returning to Seattle to work for the firm of Edward Pinneh and Robert F. McClelland. He left the firm to partner with J. Lister Holmes, and worked together with Carl Frelinghuysen Gould to design the Washington State Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. He founded an independent practice in 1942; over the late 1940s and 1950s, he designed a number of projects in Idaho, as well as campus buildings for the University of Washington and Washington State University. He designed the Overlake Memorial Hospital and the Seattle Ferry Terminal, both ultimately constructed after his retirement in 1959.
