Ralph D. Anderson (October 21, 1924[1] – October 24, 2010) was an American architect from Seattle, Washington.[2] He was a founder of Ralph Anderson and Partners, later Anderson Koch Smith. Although much of his work is modernist,[2][3] he is also strongly associated with preservationism.[2][4] He was an early and significant contributor (including as an investor) to the restoration of Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood,[2] and also participated in restoration projects along First Avenue in the Pike Place Market Historical District in the 1970s.[3]
