H. E. Kirkemo
Henry Elmer "Kirk" Kirkemo (July 26, 1894 - March 22, 1987)[1][2] was an American architect principally known for his work in western Montana and, in particular, in Missoula, Montana. His son, James W. Kirkemo, later took over his architecture practice.[3] His papers are maintained at the University of Montana - Missoula.[4] At the time of the 1930 and 1940 United States Censuses, Kirkemo was living in Missoula with his wife Lillian and son James Wallace Kirkemo.[5][6]
He worked together with A.J. Gibson (1862-1928) and with Ole Bakke (1889-1925).[7]
A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[8]
