A. L. HALEY

The excellent chara cter of buildings by
which Los Angeles has been transformed
into city of magnificent aspect and pro-
portions within the past decade has
brought into the field the highest degree
of artistic skill and knowledge in archi-
lecture. Among those who have taken
prominent part in the work is A. l..
Haley, than whom no architect is more
competent to compass all departments
and all details of building, and who is
one of our best known citizens. Mr..
Haley made his establishment here nine
years ago, and is we'll known to building
contractors and building owners in this
city and throughout this section of the
state. and has many important engage.
ments with them Mr.. Haley has designed
and supervised the erection of some of
the finest buildings in the city, and has
built many dwellings here and elsewhere
in Southern California. Among his re
cent and more notable works is a six
story block. the Bisbee Hotel. and the
Conway apartments. Mr.. Haley designs
all kinds of structural work, from a shop
or mill to church or a palatial home,
and his work embraces all that is modern
in architecture, combining the most prac-
tical and durable features with all that is
artistic and ornamental in exterior de-
sign and everything that is elegant and
convenient in the plans of interior ap-
pointment. His office is in rooms 2O3. POI
and 205 Henne block.

the finest in the city. He has an office in
the Currier building, room AZ, and is the

an especially inviting field for builders
like Mr.. Brown, as by far the larger
proportion Of our people want the best
things in building, as in all other things.
Among the fine substantial business
blocks that have been erected under the
supervision of this able contractor we
can mention the Freeman building. An
Bridge street school house; and these

The large and splendid growth of Los

BILE for his speciality than s. Tilden Nor

GARRETT G. BlXBY

The very great variety and beauty of
the architectural work done in this city
and vicinity astonishes all visitors and
leads them to remark frequently that Los
Angeles is by far the most beautiful city
on the Pacific coast architecturally
speaking, as well. as from the standpoint
of natural beauty. To such architects as
w. S. Garrett and B. b. Bixby are we
indebted largely for the excellent opinion
Garrett & Bixby are not by any means
among the older class of architects, hav-
ing been established but nine years their
offices being in rooms 312-313 Currier
building. Their work, however, has been
of so important a nature as to bring them
prominently before the people and insure
them a position and a patronage far
more influential than is held by many
longer in the field. These capable archi-
tects are prepared to draw plans for all
kinds of buildings and residences and
their work In this line shows an original
ity and artistic detail that is one of the
secrets of their unbounded success.

MARSH G. RUSSELL

The many handsome public and private
buildings erected in this city. and South
ern California during the last decade
speak volumes for the architects ana
master builders who have been active IN
their erection. Among. the architects
whose work has not only been extensive
but who have made a place. for them
selves by the quality of their work as
well as by the quantity, we. take pleasure
in enIisting the attention of the admirers tr
of fine architecture to the works OF Nor
man f. Marsh and CLARENCE II. Russell

themselves in the city about four years

the leaders of their profession in Los

work as they can execute. The city OF
''Venice of America" with its. beautiful
arcade streets, its great auditorium bath

ARCHITECTS
THEo. EIsEN

No man connected with the building
interests of Southern California is more
widely or more favorably known than
Theo. Eisen, the accomplished and enter
prising architect of Los Angeles. Mr.
Eisen has resided in this city for the
past nineteen years and has been one of
its foremost designers and builders
within the period of time which required
the highest expert knowledge and the
most refined genius of the profession.
This city is still within the period when
the most splendid achievements Of archi-
lecture marks its progress. The same
spirit of Improvement pervades all of
Southern California, and while Mr.. Eisen
has built and is onstantly under engage
ment for buildings of the advanced order
in the city, he has many engagements
in the country and has erected many of
the best class of residences in Southern
California. Mr.. Eisen is educated to the
highest standards of classical architec-
ture, and he has designed and erected
some of the most important and elegant
buildings by which Los Angeles has
grown in size and improved with splendid
architectural features. Among his more
notable achievements in this city Mr..
Eisen was the architect of the Los An

geles court house. the Los Angeles or
phan asylum, Christ church, the Boston
store of five stories, the L. Harris busi-
ness building of four stories, and has
just completed the handsome four story
building for the Fraternal brotherhood.
Mr.. Eisens work of the higher class is
the more especially required in the con-
struction of fine homes, and many of the
most notable palatial residences of this
and other cities in Southern California
are the products of his genius. In this
work he combines the most practical and
durable features with all that is new and
ornamental in exterior design and every
thing that is most elegant and convenient
in the plan of interior appointment. Mr..
Eisen occupies suite 3S1-SS2-3S3 Wilcox
building, where he makes designs for all
kinds of structural work, from a shop or
a mill to church. theater or a palatiaI
home. His son Percy who is fast at
tanning the elimination of his profess
sional studentship, bids fair in the near
future to successfully accentuate the
present evolved status of the esthetic
scientific with the conservative engineer
ing practice of the past under which
most of the older members of the pro-
fession are now lahoring, and an ultimate
business association of father and son
will tend to a typical eXemplication of
the highest standards of architecture
