Walter David Pugh (April 4, 1863 – November 23, 1946) was an American architect based in Salem, Oregon, United States.
The son of a carpenter, Pugh began designing buildings in Salem when there were only a few thousand residents, and in Eugene when it had a little over a thousand residents.Foster, Janet W.
