Talk:Robert Brown Young

The gallery for this entry currently includes photos of two buildings built in 1925, more than a decade after Robert Brown Young died. The Orpheum for which Young was "resident architect" (by which I assume they mean supervising architect) must have been the 1911 house in the 600 block of Broadway, now known as the Palace Theatre, which was designed by San Francisco architect G. Albert Lansburgh. The store for Barker Brothers which Young designed must also have been an earlier project than the one on Seventh Street between Flower and Figueroa Streets. Barker Brothers was founded in 1880.

As for the Rosslyn Hotel (not pictured, but mentioned in the article), it was designed by John Parkinson & Son and built in 1914, the year Young died. The Rosslyn started out decades earlier in a smaller building a short way up Main Street, and expanded gradually southward into two additional buildings before the tower was built adjacent to the last of these. It must be that Young designed one or more of those earlier buildings.
