Biography
William Gray Purcell
Post-P&E Commission List, 1920s-1960s
Works by William Gray Purcell following the dissolution of the Purcell and Elmslie partnership were carried out through a separate accounting system (starting at 600), but very early numbers also include work as Purcell and Elmslie, Architects. This number sequence represents work done primarily in the Pacific Northwest, although there are numerous projects for other locations. Locations marked as "unknown" were probably in the Portland, Oregon, area.
