American Architect, Artist. Grey, who designed many noted landmarks in Southern California, is credited with being a pioneer in the development of the new American architecture in the early 20th century. Grey, who did not attend college, worked as an apprentice for a Milwaukee architectural firm from 1887 to 1899. He eventually moved to California and in 1903, formed a partnership with Midwestern architect Myron Hunt, building their reputation by designing fine residences for the wealthy of Pasadena. From 1907 to 1908, Hunt & Grey designed a Beaux Arts mansion for railroad and finance magnate, Henry Huntington, in San Marino which would later become the Huntington Library and Art Gallery.  In 1911, they began plans for the new campus of Occidental College in the Eagle Rock district of Los Angeles. They also designed several structures for Claremont College and a master expansion plan for Pomona College. After their partnership dissolved in 1912, Grey went on to design such landmarks as the Pasadena Playhouse, the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Lincoln Shrine in Redlands. Grey, who was also a noted artist whose paintings are in the permanent collection of the Chicago Art Institute, died in a Pasadena mansion he had built for himself. (bio by: Louis M.)
