He was born November 2, 1886, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attended schools in Spokane and then Washington State College in Pullman, Washington during 1907–08 but apparently did not graduate. His further education and training is unclear, but he received an architectural license from the State of Washington by reciprocity on December 27, 1922. He served in World War I, including as a first lieutenant in the quartermaster corps in France. He was later an active member of the American Legion.
He worked for a time in the architectural firm of Morrison & Stimson in Wenatchee and is given credit with them for the Chelan County Courthouse (1924). He died November 26, 1967.[1]
Douglas County Courthouse (Waterville, Washington). (However the 1905 courthouse there is credited, at least mainly to architect Newton C. Gauntt, per its NRHP nomination, so perhaps Solberg contributed to the design without being the principal, or perhaps he designed a renovation.)
