Linn A. Forrest

During the 1930s and the Great Depression, he oversaw Civilian Conservation Corps programs of the New Deal to preserve totem poles and other aspects of traditional, native architecture.

Drawing on this experience, he later wrote The Wolf and the Raven: Totem Poles of Southeastern Alaska, which has been printed in 20 editions.

[3] Forrest designed the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center,[4] the Juneau Federal Building[5] and, with Harold B. Foss, the nearby Chapel by the Lake.

[7] Forrest came to Alaska after working in the 1930s in Oregon, where he was the lead exterior designer of Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood.

[10] At one time he worked for the architecture group within the United States Forest Service Northwest regional office.
