George Adrian Applegarth (1875 – 1972) was an American architect.[1] Applegarth’s career included designing the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the Clift Hotel (now The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel), and projects for the town of Clyde, California. He co-founded the architectural firm, MacDonald & Applegarth.

Early life and education

Applegarth was born on October 4, 1875, in Oakland, California, to parents Henrietta Anne (née Sanders) and John Applegarth.[2] His mother was born in Walcot, Somerset, England, and his father was born in Canada.[2] George Sanders, of the architectural firm Wright & Sanders was his maternal uncle;[3][4] and John Arnold Sanders, a noted English painter and sculptor, was his maternal grandfather.[2]

He graduated from Oakland High School; and began his career as a draughtsman for the Wright & Sanders in San Francisco, while he studied drawing at the University of California, Berkeley under Bernard Maybeck.[5][6] Applegarth continued his training at Шаблон:Lang in Paris (degree in April 1906),[5][6] where he met his future work partner Kenneth A. MacDonald Jr.[5]

Career

He returned to the United States after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fires. In 1907, Applegarth obtained his architecture license in California.[3] From 1907 until 1912, he was part of the architecture firm MacDonald & Applegarth, a collaboration with his former classmate.[5]

Around 1917, he helped in the construction of Clyde, California, once a company town built for the employees of the Pacific Coast Shipbuilding Company.[6] Bernard Maybeck led the project, and it was funded in part by the United States government loan.[6]

He was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and for a period of time served as president of the San Francisco chapter.[5]
