Henry L. Gogerty

Henry L. Gogerty (1894–1990) was an American architect. He is best known for designing over 350 schools and industrial buildings in Southern California.

He was born on January 30, 1894 in Zearing, Iowa. He received a Liberal Arts certificate from the University of Dubuque in 1913, graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1917, and later received a degree in architecture from the University of Southern California. During the First World War, he served in the field artillery.

In 1901, he began construction on Gardena High School which opened in 1907, and is still open to this day. Together with Carl Jules Weyl (1890-1948), he designed the Spanish Baroque Palace Theater, now known as the Avalon Hollywood, located at 1735 North Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles, in 1926-1927. Alternatively, in 1926, they designed the Spanish Colonial Baine Building located at 6601-09 Hollywood Boulevard, built for Colonel Harry Baine (1884-1945). As such, Baine was "the first person to live in a penthouse on Hollywood Boulevard," and his downstairs tenants were the Merchants National Trust and Savings Bank. In 1927, they designed a building located at 6654 Hollywood Boulevard. In 1928, they designed shops and studios for Fred Thomson (1890-1928). In 1929, they designed the Yucca Vine Tower, a 112-foot, eight-floor building located at 6305-09 Yucca Street in the Yucca Corridor area of Hollywood. In 1928, he designed the Grand Central Air Terminal of the Glendale Airport in Glendale, California.
