Fred Earl Norris, Jr. dating history

Details

Fred Earl Norris Jr. (April 11, 1923 - November 9, 2006) was an American Mid-Century Modern architect, with a degree in architecture from University of California, Berkeley, who designed more than 250 homes on individual sites throughout Southern California from the mid-1950s through 1998 when he retired to Maui Hawaii. Notable Norris projects include designing and developing "Hollywood Park" in 1959 at North Pacific Beach, San Diego—-an enclave of 13 mid-century homes; the residence of G.G. (Gilbert George) Budwig, aviation pioneer and early Director of Air Regulation for the U.S. Department of Commerce; and the Robert Martinet residence (former San Diego City Councilman). Both residences are located on Mission Bay, San Diego County and were featured in the Los Angeles Times when first built. In addition to numerous residential projects and a few commercial designs, Norris is credited with the design and supervision of the 1988 construction of the seawall on Ka'anapali Beach, Maui, located in front of the Maui Kai condo resort and known as the Fred Norris Seawall. A bronze plaque with his name is attached to the seawall.
