Four of 33 technical drawings for the Pacific Savings and Loan Building. Four of the drawings in this collection were created by Russell and Babcock on June 15, 1908, fourteen years before the building would be constructed. Nineteen of the drawings in this collection were created by R.C. Reamer in July 23, 1930 for a renovation. The structure was demolished in 1963.
Ambrose James (sometimes Janvier) Russell was born in Trivandrum, India to a Scottish missionary. Russell studied at the University of Glasgow and the Ecole des Beaux Arts before coming to America in 1884. In 1895, Russell was the Director of the Watercolor Sketch Club, which displayed work at the Ferry Museum (now the Washington State Historical Society) and curated work from future partner Everett Phipps Babcock. In 1896, Russell was appointed a Professor of Architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Russell formed partnerships with Albert Walter Spaulding and Frederick Henry Heath in 1901, Everett Phipps Babcock in 1905, H.G. Ripley in 1908, Walter E. Rice and Irving Harlan Thomas in 1908 and finally Gaston Lance, A. Gordon Lumm and Irwin Muri in 1930. Russell was a member of the American Institute of Architects, Secretary of the Tacoma Society of Architects and a Mason. When Russell passed, three of his Pallbearers were architects featured in this collection: Gaston Lance, Ernest Mock and Earl N. Dugan.
Everett Phipps Babcock was born in Tacoma and worked primarily with Ambrose James Russell as Russell & Babcock. In addition to the residences listed below, Babcock also built his own residence for his wife Clara on American Lake named "The Totem Pole." Babcock died suddenly after a routine tonsil removal operation in Pasadena, California.

One of 14 technical drawings for the Edison School Annex, created by Frederick Henry Heath on March 28, 1910. Renamed in 1912 to the Barlow Annex after South Tacoma community activist Orin Watts Barlow. The structure was demolished in 2011.
Frederick Henry Heath was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 1861 and graduated from Powell's Academy, a parochial institution created by Rev William R. Powell in Caledonia, Minnesota. Heath moved to Tacoma in 1893 and formed a partnership with Ambrose James Russell and A. Walter Spaulding in 1901. It was during this partnership that Heath would become the School Architect for the Tacoma School District from 1903 through 1920, when he had moved on to partner with George Gove and draftsman Herbert A. Bell as Heath, Gove & Bell. Towards the end of his life, Heath collaborated with his son Frederick Jr. to help promote and sell his invention, "Heath Cubes," a square, hollow tile building material.

Three of eight technical drawings for a proposed but unbuilt Comfort Station for Women, created by Wilbur C. Raleigh on October, 1910. Wilbur C. Raleigh was working under Mayor Angelo V. Fawcett as a city engineer when he was commissioned to create these plans. The space was intended to utilize the wood storage room under the sidewalk at the south end of the City Hall building as a women's restroom, urged by the growing Women's Club movement happening in Tacoma at that time. The space appears to never have been constructed. Raleigh's informal technical drawing style, with what may be waxed pencil, are unique to other technical drawings in the Lost Tacoma collection. Raleigh subsequently worked as the secretary for the Havelock C. Boyle & Co. and the President of the Raleigh-Hayward Company, realtors in the Rust building.
Wilbur C. Raleigh also designed the Shops and Stables building and acted as supervising engineer for the construction of the Murray Morgan and Puyallup River Bridges.

One of 11 technical drawings created by George Gove and Frederick Henry Heath on May 14, 1913. The school closed in 1963 and was turned over to the Puyallup Tribal Council before being demolished as a fire hazard in 1981.
George Gove was born in Rochester, MN in 1970 and arrived in Tacoma in 1908. From that point, Gove worked principly with Frederick Henry Heath as consulting architects for the Tacoma Board of Education. This would provide subsequent contracts for the Central School, Lincoln High School, the Stadium High School gymnasium and the first branch of the South Tacoma Library. There are contesting accounts regarding whether George Gove or Earl N. Dugan was the founding member of the Tacoma Society of Architects.
Frederick Henry Heath was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 1861 and graduated from Powell's Academy, a parochial institution created by Rev William R. Powell in Caledonia, Minnesota.
