Lee Arden Thomas

The pair designed the O. C. Henkle Building, Kenwood School, the Central Oregon Bank, and the Vandevert & Whitington Garage.

[3] In Portland, Thomas helped design the Weatherly Building with Sutton & Whitney and partnered with Albert Mercier on the adjacent Oriental Theatre (1927), as well as several other theaters.

"[2] The building was funded entirely with private donations and gifts at a cost of around $750,000, and a $3 per term assessment Oregon State students implemented beginning in January 1922.

The MU was owned by the Memorial Union Corporation until 1965 when it transferred the facility to the State Board of Higher Education.

[2] Thomas designed the Washington School, a somewhat eclectic Classical Revival or Neo-Classical-style building in Corvallis, Oregon.

It has plaster pilasters framing the main entryway as well as a Tuscan portico with cast stone columns including capitals and apophyge.

[8] L. N. Traver was the contractor, D. W. Powell and Oregon Architectural College's "Professor Peck" did the surrounding landscape design.
