N. Lester Troast (1899-1958)〔("N. Lester Troast (1899-1958)" ). ''http://public.aia.org/''. n.d. Web.〕 was an American architect from Sitka and Juneau, Alaska, who was the first professional architect to practice in Alaska. Troast began his career in the 1920s, as a teacher at Sitka's Sheldon Jackson School. Circa 1930, he left the school and established an architect's office in Sitka. At that time, he was noted as Alaska's only professional architect.〔''Fairbanks (AK) Daily News-Miner'' 28 July 1930: 8.〕 Later that year he moved his office to Juneau, the largest city in the then-territory. He quickly associated with William A. Manley, who would become a partner in N. Lester Troast & Associates in the mid-1930s. Manley was sent to Anchorage in late 1937 to open an office for the firm in that city.〔''Alaska Miner'' 10 May 1938: 11.〕 Troast had moved to New Jersey by the mid-1940s, and Manley opened his own practice. William Manley would later go on to have a notable career as the senior partner in the Anchorage firm of Manley & Meyer. ==Works== * Sage Memorial Building, Sheldon Jackson School, Sitka, Alaska (1929)〔("Sage Building" ).
