Everett Phipps Babcock was an architect. He lived at 2067 Pendrell Street in 1914 and 1915.
Family Background
Everett Phipps Babcock was born in New York on June 13, 1874. His parents were Phoenix Babcock (1846-1921) and Emma Frances Phipps.
Early Working Life
Everett began his architectural career in Tacoma. He was an assistant supervising architect for Jardine, Kent and Jardine, a New York architectural firm that was overseeing the building of the Carnegie Library in Tacoma.
He later worked with Ambrose J. Russell, who was a British architect. Russell and Babcock designed many other buildings in Washington, including the Washington State Governor’s mansion in 1908. [Washington Governor’s Mansion, Wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Governor’s_Mansion.]
Marriage to Clara Delano
On June 5, 1908, in Montclair, New Jersey, Everett married Clara Mae Delano. She was born in New York on December 12, 1868. Her parents were Frank Delano and Sara B. Snow.
To Vancouver
In 1911, Everett moved to Vancouver to supervise several projects with the firm of Russell, Babcock and Rice.
One significant building was the Weart Building (now called the Standard Building), at the southeast corner of Hastings Street and Richards Street.
To United States
By about 1916, Everett had moved to Portland, Oregon, where he stayed until 1923.
About 1923, he went to Pasadena, California. Clare’s brother Henry Lewis Delano (1871-1962), had been living in Pasadena since about 1919. Henry was the vice president of a real estate firm.
Everett was a member of the American Institute of Architects and the Southern California Architectural Club. He also belonged to the Valley Hunt Club, the Annandale Golf Club, and the Pasadena Garden Club.
In 1928, he was living at 855 Rosalind Road, in San Marino, California.
On May 17, 1928, after going to the Pasadena Hospital for an operation to remove his tonsils, he died unexpectedly on the operating table.
Clare continued to live in California. She died in Los Angeles on September 8, 1955.
