of Oregon's most noteworthy public works projects
first saw life on the drawing tables of Frank G.
Hutchinson and Harold L. Spooner. Other drawings by
the two men were destined to remain dreams. The
works shown here represent a small portion of the
110 drawings they produced from 1935 to 1957. These
works range in size from two feet by four feet to
four feet by seven feet. Their subjects include
landscapes and buildings but most often relate to
transportation projects such as bridges, tunnels,
and highway interchanges. While modern public works
projects are planned with computer-aided design and
three-dimensional computer modeling, the drawings
of Hutchinson and Spooner rely on artistry and
painstaking attention to detail.
