Percy & Hamilton

Percy & Hamilton was an architectural firm in San Francisco, California during 1880 to 1899.[1]

The firm was a partnership of George Washington Percy (1847–1900) and Frederick Foss Hamilton (1851–1899).[2] During the period of 1890 to 1900, they designed numerous residences and churches in the Pacific Heights area.[1] Many of their works were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake; others were destroyed for redevelopment. Several of their works survive and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
