Victor W. Voorhees (1876–1970) was an American architect most active in Seattle, Washington. He is credited with the design of over 110 building projects. Considered one of the Northwest's finest designer of garages, he was responsible for a large number of automobile related buildings built on Capitol Hill in the 1910s and 1920s, Seattle's original auto row.[1] His residential plan book, Western Home Builder, which went through six editions between 1907 and 1911, provided templates for popular local house designs like the Seattle box.[2][3]
