Daniel Riggs Huntington, was born in 1871 in Newark, New Jersey and educated at Columbia Grammar School and Columbia University. He began his architectural career in Denver, Colorado in 1889 and worked in New York for about six years beginning in 1894, only to return again to Denver. He arrived in Seattle in 1904 or 1905 and by 1907, had formed the Schack and Huntington Partnership. Later highlights of Huntington’s career include the 1912 design for Seattle’s Colman Dock, a two year partnership with architect Arthur Loveless. It was during his time as Seattle City Architect from 1912 until late 1921 that he designed the Washington Street Boat Landing. One of the early products of his work as City Architect was the Lake Union Steam Plant in Seattle. He taught briefly at the University of Washington (1923-24) and continued an independent architectural practice at least until the Depression. From 1944 to 1946, he was also employed as an architect for Washington State University. He died in 1962.
