Résumé

Perry's career, like that of William Charles Hays, (1873-1963), was closely connected with that of John Galen Howard, (1864-1931), Director of the Department of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB). Perry was an early graduate of Howard's new architectural program at the UCB, and became a close ally of his mentor.

Draftsman, John Galen Howard, Architect, San Francisco, CA, 1911-1913.

Principal, Warren Charles Perry, Architect, San Francisco, CA, 1913-1958. Warren C. Perry had an office at 260 California Street in 1945. (See San Francisco, California, City Directory, 1945, p. 1961.)

Perry retired in 1958.

Instructor, University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Department of Architecture, Berkeley, CA,1911-1918.

Assistant Professor, University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Department of Architecture, Berkeley, CA, 1918-1921.

Associate Professor, University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Department of Architecture, Berkeley, CA, 1921-1927.

Dean, University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Department of Architecture, Berkeley, CA,1937-1954.

Perry's exit from the Deanship was acrimonious, as he disagreed with the new curricular policies installed by William W. Wurster, Dean of the College of Architecture, later to be called the College of Environmental Design. Perry taught design studios and the history of Renaissance architecture.

(See "League to Lead in City Planning," Oregon Daily Journal, 06/10/1913, p. 11.) John Galen Howard, the most well-known, academically-trained architect on the West Coast, was not at this event in Portland, and Perry may have served as his emissary.
