Charles F. Whittlesey was the chief architect for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway and designed El Tovar the Harvey House hotel in Grand Canyon Village at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon which was completed in 1905.

Whittlesey was born in Alton, Illinois in 1868. He studied architecture and engineering in Chicago and at one point worked for Louis Sullivan. An American Arts and Crafts architect, he was a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. Around 1901 he moved to Albuquerque as the chief architect for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, during which time he designed El Tovar at Grand Canyon, and the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque, his own home (now the Albuquerque Press Club), and the homes of George Babbitt and Timothy and Michael Riordan. see Riordan Mansion State Historic Park Around 1905 Whittlesey moved to Los Angeles and designed the Wentworth Hotel in Pasadena, and others. About the time of the great quake and fire of 1906 in San Francisco he moved there.
