Sundeleaf, Richard, 1900-1987

American architect Richard Sundeleaf (1900-1987) worked in Portland, Oregon and became known in the 1920s and 1930s for his imaginative work in industrial architecture. He combined the decorative style of "Beaux-Arts" architecture with rugged functionalism in distinctive warehouses and offices. In the late 1940s he was a leading local proponent of the "Streamline Moderne" style, in which the spirit of the machine age and the concepts of aerodynamics shape the designs of buildings. Noted public buildings include the Woodbury and Co. warehouse, 1939; the Bearing Service Co. building, 1944; the General Co. building (now Dynagraphics Inc.) 1945; the Francis and Hopkins Motor showroom (now the University Station Post Office) 1949; the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, 1955; and the Portland Medical Center, 1957.
