Elmer H. Fisher
Elmer H. Fisher (1840–1905) was an architect best known for his work during the rebuilding of the American city of Seattle after it was devastated by fire in 1889.
==Life==
Fisher claimed to have been born in Scotland and moved to Massachusetts at age 17 where he received an architectural apprenticeship in Worcester. This now appears to be untrue according to the City of Seattle's research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary for 300 Occidental Way / Parcel ID 5247800695 )〕 He also claimed to have lived in Minneapolis, Denver and Butte before moving to the Pacific Northwest in 1886. His career in the region began with designing buildings in the cities of Victoria and Vancouver in Canada and Port Townsend in Washington.〔
Fisher came to Seattle in 1889 before the Great Seattle fire devastated the city. He is considered the most prolific of the architects involved in rebuilding the city for designing almost half of the major downtown buildings between 1889 and 1891.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary for 119 Yesler Way / Parcel ID 5247800545 )〕 Due to financial problems, he left his career as an architect to run a hotel that he had previously designed and built.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summary for 105 1st Ave / Parcel ID 5247800046 )〕
In 1893, a former mistress brought a civil suit against Fisher. Although he was acquitted, the scandal ruined his reputation. He moved to Los Angeles where he failed to reestablish his architectural career.〔
