W. H. Weeks

William Henry Weeks (1864–1936) was an early 20th-century architect who designed hundreds of buildings including many schools, banks, and libraries.He was best known for the monumental neoclassical style of his public buildings, although he had employed other architectural styles earlier in his career.

His first office was in Watsonville, California, but later offices were in various parts of the San Francisco Bay area.

Weeks' firm designed structures in over 161 California cities, as well as several buildings in Nevada and Oregon.Weeks was a pioneer in earthquake-resistant construction and, as a result, many of his buildings are still in use.
