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.
