[1] He studied painting and illustration at the
Art Students League of New York . At the age of 26 he moved to
Spokane, Washington , and began working as a banker for his uncle. By the 1920s, Cutter had designed several hundred buildings that established Spokane as a place rivaling
Seattle and
Portland, Oregon in its architectural quality. Most of Cutter's work is listed in State and
National Registers of Historic Places .
His design for the 1893

Idaho Building was a rustic design log construction. It was a popular favorite, visited by an estimated 18 million people. The building's design and interior furnishings were a major precursor of the
