Fitzhugh & Byron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fitzhugh & Byron was an architectural partnership in Phoenix, Arizona, whose partners were Lee Mason Fitzhugh (1877-1937) and Lester A. Byron (1889-1963).[1] The firm, along with architect Henry Trost in Tucson and George Washington Smith in Ajo, Arizona, is given credit for adobe style revival in the state.[2]

The firm was established in 1910, when architect Thornton Fitzhugh returned to Los Angeles, leaving his brother, Lee Fitzhugh, in change of the office. Fitzhugh & Fitzhugh, architects, was the result.[3]

A number of its works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[4][5]
