Gill, Irving (John)

(b Tully, NY, 26 April 1870; d Carlsbad, CA, 7 Oct 1936). American architect. The son of a building contractor, he was trained in Chicago in the offices of the architects Joseph Lyman Silsbee and Adler & Sullivan. Health considerations prompted his move to San Diego in 1893. Establishing an independent practice there, Gill remained in southern California for the rest of his life. Most of his commissions were for houses, apartment complexes and institutional buildings in residential districts.
