Hiawatha Estes

Hiawatha Thompson Estes (b. 26 Jan 1918 - d. 8 May 2003) was a California-based architect and author known for designing a large number of variations of the ubiquitous post-war ranch home, mass marketing plans of them, and publishing a number of books dealing with residential architecture.

Estes was a Chickasaw Indian Nation member. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma and served in World War II as a Captain in the Army Air Corps 37th Fighter Squadron.

After the war, Estes founded "Architectural House and Plan Business, Nationwide Plan Book" which was to evolve into Hiawatha Estes and Associates.
