ERNEST A. COXHEAD, 
 
California Bank Building, Los Angeles, was born in Sussex, England, in 1863; 
received his professional education in the Architectural School of the Royal 
Academy of Arts, London; entered the office of one of the leading architects of 
that great city, where he became foreman, and left that position in 1886 to come 
to America. In the spring of that year he came to Los Angeles and since then he 
has been prosecuting his chosen profession with brilliant success. He has been 
entrusted with preparing the plans and superintending the erection of some of 
the finest buildings in the city and surrounding country. He drew the plan of 
the Young Men's Christian Association Building, one of the finest blocks in Los 
Angeles; also of the First English Lutheran Church, the All Saints' Episcopal 
Church, Pasadena; the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, the Memorial 
Church (stone) at Garvanza, and many others.
