B.Arch., University of Washington, Seattle, Seattle, WA, 1933;

Wallace Stout was born in Grand Forks, ND on 11/21/1907. In 1910, the Stout Family lived in Grand Forks, ND, at 882 Belmont Avenue. His family had moved to Spokane, WA, by 1920, living in a rented residence at 1318 South Adams Street. At this time, his mother had abandoned her teaching career and stayed at home. Working as a draftsman for J.H. Mitchell, Architect, in 1937, Stout lived at 2228 Clay Street in San Francisco. In 1942, Stout, working as a draftsman, lived in the Vendome Hotel in San Jose, CA, and was a registered Democrat. Following World War II, Stout returned to Seattle. He worked for two firms during the 1940s-1960s, Victor N. Jones and Associates and Naramore, Bain, Brady and Johanson (NBBJ). In 1982, Sarah Stout lived at 492 West Lake Sammamish Boulevard NE, Bellevue, WA, 98008. She remained in Bellevue for the remainder of her long life.

Both of his parents taught music in 1910; his father was George A. Stout (born c. 1876 in IL); his mother was Ruby Stout, (born c. 1883 in WI); they married in c. 1905; Wallace had a younger brother, Robert, (born c. 06/1919 in WA), nearly thirteen years younger. (The 1920 US Census indicated George to be a "Professor of Music" in a high school.)

He married Sarah Lewis Stout (09/27/1899-06/15/1999). She died in Bellevue, WA.

A son, Wallace R. Stout, Jr., was born 11/04/1933 in San Francisco, CA.

The records disagree as to the spelling of his middle name. Some, such as the American Architects Directory, (Chicago: R.R. Bowker, 1962), p. 681, indicated it to have been "Redmond," while his tombstone featured on Find a Grave.com indicated that it was "Redmon." Until documentation in his own hand proves the spelling one way or another, the latter has been used. At age 33, Wallace R. Stout, Sr., sailed from San Francisco, CA, on 06/24/1941 aboard the S.S. Monterey, arriving in Honolulu, HI, on 06/30/1941. SSN: 558-09-2188;
