Isaac James Galbraith (1859-1926), American architect, known to have worked in Pittsburgh, PA in the 1880s before arriving in Livingston, Montana in 1888 where he worked for several years, relocated to Missoula in October 1890 where he worked with J.R. Fuller. He left for Chicago in December 1892 but only made it as far as South Dakota, where he practiced for several years in the Yankton area. Later in the decade he traveled the Northwest Territories during the Yukon Gold Rush where he was one of the few to strike it rich. He returned to the Northwest, relocating to Spokane, Washington in September 1899 where he designed many buildings in Eastern Washington and Idaho over the next decade, with brief partnerships with Alfred Jones and Harold Hals along on the way. He retired from architecture in 1910, working as a contractor for several more years. He died in 1926 and is buried in his hometown of Monongahela, PA.
