Overview

Architect William Curlett (1846-1914) was at work on Merchant National Bank #4 in Los Angeles, CA, c. 1913, about a year before his death. Curlett was one of the most successful architects in CA who bridged late nineteenth century styles and adadpted to the Beaux-Arts Classicism of the twentieth century. He was a peer of John Parkinson (1861-1935) in this way. One aspect that set him apart from Parkinson, though, was that Curlett managed to build large-scale commissions in both Northern and Southern CA.
