One of eighteen technical drawings for the Roosevelt School, created on July 8, 1921 by Hill, Mock and Griffin. After acts of arson, vandalism and identification of structural deficiencies which led to the gymnasium collapsing, the structure was demolished in 1986.

Irwin (sometimes Irwyn) Horatio Hill was born in Illinois and graduated from the University of Illinois and Chicago Art Institute. After moving to Tacoma in 1903, Hill partnered with George Bullard, then Woodroofe and Griffin, then Hill, Mock & Griffin and finally Mock & Morrison. Hill was a member of the Tacoma Park Board and the Tacoma Rotary Club.

Ernest Thornton Mock is one of the few other architects in this collection that were born in Tacoma. Mock apprenticed for twelve years under Bullard & Russell before partnering with Irwin H. Hill and Jack Griffin in 1918. When Griffin left to pursue contracts in Lewis County, he was replaced by Nelson J. Morrison and shared a space in the Perkins Building. Mock's death in 1950 inspired the 88th annual reunion of the Scottish Rite Masons in Tacoma, to honor his 25 years of service.

Jack Griffin was born in Los Angeles, CA and graduated from the University of Santa Clara. After moving to Seattle, Griffin formed a partnership with Irwin H. Hill, Arnott Woodroofe and later with Ernest T. Mock. When Griffin left the partnership in 1924, he would work extensively in the Lewis County area, creating courthouses, schools, churches and theaters with distinctive Spanish Colonial Revival and Mission Revival Style influences.

Two of 18 technical drawings created by Lambert Bassindale firm for alterations to the Northern Pacific Beneficial Association Hospital on March 12, 1923. The building was constructed in 1904 and demolished in 1973.

Lambert Bassindale was born in Racine, Wisconsin in 1875 and graduated from the Chicago Art Institute. After moving to St. Paul in 1918 to partner with associate architect Charles Frost, Bassindale began a long career of designing structures for the Northern Pacific Railroad, including office buildings, Hospitals and Nursing Homes. The Northern Pacific Beneficial Association Hospital was organized in 1882 and had seven hospitals spanning Minnesota to Tacoma, the westernmost facility.

Series of four drawings for a supplemental building located on "lots number 1-10-10 including block number 2508 at 25th street between Hood street and Jefferson avenue." The plans were drawn by Portland based Northwestern Ice and Cold Storage Company and created on January 30, 1929 and revised on February 12, 1929. This building was originally part of the Pacific Brewing & Malting Co, then the location of the Hemmingson Co. Warehouse before this building was remodeled with these plans as the Pacific Refrigerating Company in 1934. The building was renamed the Alpine Cold Storage building in the 1980s and suffered from a fire that led to it being demolished in July of 2003.

Twenty three technical drawings for the Point Defiance Pavilion, created by A.J. Russell and Earl N. Dugan, submitted in a series of "units" over 5/6/1919, 2/22/1921 and 3/22/1925. While the name Point Defiance Pavilion sometimes refers to the octagonal structure on what is now the Point Defiance Marina, these plans refer to the structure closer to the water which often took the same name. According to Edwin D. Ferris' original designs, this structure was originally a bathhouse, then became a restaurant and finally converted to an aquarium before the building was destroyed by a fire in 1972.

Earl N. Dugan was born in Perry, Iowa and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1906. After working for a short while in Chicago and San Francisco, he arrived in Tacoma working independently as a draftsman. This led to partnerships with Sutton, Whitney and Dugan as well as Mock, Morrison and Dugan. Dugan was the founding member of the Tacoma Society of Architects and would sometimes use this platform to secure contracts through free consultation, as was the case for the Point Defiance Pavilion.

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.

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.

Everett Phipps Babcock was born in Tacoma and worked primarily with Ambrose James Russell as Russell & Babcock.
