Ole Bakke (1889-1925) was a Norwegian-American architect practicing in Missoula, a city in western Montana. Bakke, a native of Norway, arrived in Missoula in 1900. As a teenager, he worked as a draftsman for A. J. Gibson, the region's leading architect. Upon Gibson's retirement in 1913, Bakke succeeded to the business. However, Gibson continued to practice in a consulting position, and is thus credited with the design of the First Presbyterian Church, of which he was an active member. Bakke practiced until his departure for Norway circa 1922. His office, in turn, was succeeded by H. E. Kirkemo, who had joined Bakke as a draftsman in 1920. Bakke returned to Missoula in 1924, and died there in 1925.
