Biographies of prominent historic
architects, designers and builders in Fresno and the Central Valley
The following architects, designers and
builders all played significant roles in creating the historic architectural
heritage of Fresno and California's Central Valley. Some, such as W. D. Coates
and Eugene Mathewson, spent most of their professional careers in Fresno, and
designed many of the city's most prominent buildings. Others, including George
W. Maher and S. Charles Lee, designed only one structure in the area, yet those
structures have become local landmarks. One architect on the list–Charles
H. Cheney–never had any of his designs built in the Central Valley, yet
his plan for Fresno's downtown civic center was so remarkable that it warrants
his inclusion here.
