About A. Quincy Jones
A. Quincy Jones was born in Kansas City in 1913 and became one of the leading architects of postwar Los Angeles. He partnered with Frederick Emmons from 1951 to 1969, and by Emmons’s estimate their designs shaped about 5,000 Eichler homes.
Jones moved the California tract house away from the plain stucco box, adding atriums, high ceilings, walls of glass and shared greenbelts. He designed Sunnylands, the Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage, and taught at USC from 1951, later serving as dean of its School of Architecture.
On This Coast
Jones worked with William Pereira on the early University of California, Irvine, campus in the 1960s.
