Biography

Early life

Ezra Kysor was born on August 6, 1835, in Cattaraugus, New York.[1] Around the age of thirty, he traveled west to Virginia City, Nevada.[1]

Career

Upon his arrival in Virginia City c.1865, Kysor established himself as a carpenter.[2] He may also have maintained an architectural office.[1] By 1868, however, he had settled in Los Angeles, California, as an architect.[1]

He practiced alone until March 1875, when he established Kysor & Mathews with Walter J. Mathews (1850-1947).[3] This firm was dissolved in April 1876.[4] He was again alone until 1879, when John F. Hennessy (1853-1924) became a member of Kysor & Hennessy.[5] Hennessy, who was born in Ireland and came to the United States in 1875 or 1876, left Los Angeles for Australia in late 1880.[6]

Upon Hennessy's departure, Kysor made his chief draftsman, Octavius Morgan (1850-1922), a member of Kysor & Morgan. In 1886, John A. Walls (1858-1922) was added, the firm becoming Kysor, Morgan & Walls.[7] It was around this time the Kysor began to withdraw from practice, to focus on real estate speculation. He retired from the firm completely in 1890, which became Morgan & Walls.

Personal life

He was married to Clara Perry. They had a son, Charles H. Kysor (1883-1954), who was also an architect.[8]
