Research and Book by Inge S. Horton

Sample Biographies

You can read two biographies of Northern California women in architecture. I prepared forty-eight additional biographies, which are published in my book

Early Women Architects of the San Francisco Bay Area - The Lives and Work of Fifty Professionals, 1890-1951. 

After the book was published in 2010 I found another architect, Mary Rockwell Hook, who mainly practiced in Kansas City, Missouri and Siesta Key, Florida but has designed two important houses in California. Her biography is now added.

 

 

I welcome information about Northern California women in architecture who started their practice before 1950. If you have historical information or photos to share, please contact me.
