George Bergstrom

George Edwin Bergstrom (March 12, 1876 – June 17, 1955) was an American architect who designed many buildings in Los Angeles, California.

Among these were the Los Angeles Athletic Club, the Alexandria Hotel, and the original building of Bullock's Department Store.

The firm also received commissions for major projects as distant as Salt Lake City, first for the Kearns Building, erected in 1911 for U.S.

Senator Thomas Kearns, a mining, newspaper, railroad and banking magnate and later, the Hotel Utah, now the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, was erected in 1909–1911.

He designed buildings for the Elks Club[7] and the Commercial Club in downtown Los Angeles,[8] and collaborated with architect William Lee Woollett (1874–1955) [9] on Grauman's Metropolitan Theatre (later called the Paramount Theatre) for impresario Sid Grauman.
