Excerpt from The Architect and Engineer of California, Vol. 41: April June, 1915
Considering the difficulties that attend the planning of buildings for provincial towns, the standards that prevail and the general tendency of such work to be over showy and trivial in character, the examples here shown of schools, banks, libraries and buildings generally are of a remark ably high order oi merit. Dignity, simplicity and restraint prevail through out this work to an unexpected extent. Indeed, we can have no hesitation in saying that such a leaven of excellently planned and cleanly designed buildings throughout the state must have exerted a wonderful influence for good and helped other architects noticeably to attain higher standards by far than usually prevail in smaller cities. The merit of these buildings architecturally speaking would be far more apparent if it were possible in every instance to give a picture also of some other building in the same town. Every one of my readers has only to think for a moment of any country town that he is familiar with to recall the cupolas, the excrescences, the vagaries and fantasies of design that are the salient characteristics of bucolic architecture throughout the states and especially in the fest.
