North Point was designed by Spokane, Washington architect, Kirtland Cutter, for Lucy C. Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie's sister-in-law and matriarch of the Carnegie family. It is speculated that Cutter was selected to design the building after Lucy saw the Idaho Building designed by Cutter at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
