B. J. GOODMAN, 
 
architect, Los Angeles, is a native of Indiana, born May 23, 1864. After 
obtaining the usual common-school education, he entered the office of John A. 
Hasecoster, and remained with him ten years, learning and practicing his 
profession. The first three years he worked without any compensation whatever, 
even supplying himself with all the necessary instruments. While in that office 
he designed plans for some of the finest buildings in the country. He came to 
Los Angeles in 1885, since which time he has been busy in his chosen profession, 
building up a good reputation by his manner of "building up" the city.
