Life and career

Ralph Stoodley Loring was born November 13, 1879, in Somerville, Massachusetts to George Fullington and Sarah Frances (Johnson) Loring. His father was an architect.[1] Loring attended the public schools before entering the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1901 with a degree in civil engineering. He initially worked as a draftsman.

In 1905 he went to Boise, Idaho as superintendent of reconstruction of the United States barracks in that city.[2] In 1906 he went to Lewiston as manager of a branch office for architects John E. Tourtellotte & Company.[3] This office was closed in 1910, and Loring established his own practice in Lewiston. In 1924 he relocated to Pasadena, California, becoming associated with an architecture firm there.[4] He practiced architecture in California for the remainder of his career.
