American Architect. Farquhar, who is regarded as one of the master architects who made major contributions to the high‐style residential and institutional environment of Southern California from the 1910s to the 1940s, attended Phillips Exeter and Harvard before earning an architectural degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1895. He then attended École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1896 through 1901 and returned to New York and worked in the office of Hunt & Hunt, and later, Carrère and Hastings. In 1903, he married tennis champion Marion Jones and two years later, moved to Los Angeles and established his architecture firm. Among some of the landmark residences he designed were the Fenyes Residence in Pasadena (1906), McReynolds House in Los Angeles (1908), Gorham House in Santa Monica (1910), Charles Eaton House in San Marino (1913), Thomas Marlowe Residence in Pasadena (1921), Canfield-Moreno Estate in Silver Lake (1923), Harry Cohn Estate in Beverly Hills (1927), Owlwood Estate in Holmby Hills (1936) and the William Garland House in Pebble Beach (1940). His commercial structures include the Torrance Public Library (1913), San Francisco's Festival Hall (for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition), the William Andrews Clark Mausoleum at Hollywood Memorial Park (1916), the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library in Los Angeles (1922), Beverly Hills High School (1928) and the California Club in downtown Los Angeles (1930). He also worked with chief architect George Edwin Bergstrom on design of the Pentagon in 1941. The American Institute of Architects awarded Farquhar its Distinguished Honor Award for the William Andrews Clark Mausoleum, and Certificates of Honor for the design of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library and the California Club.
