Daniel Anthony Elliott (1897-1978) was a Southern California-based architect who designed various water-related construction projects in the greater Los Angeles area, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California building. Elliott was a graduate of UC Berkeley's architecture program in 1925 and began his career with the firm of Gilbert Stanley Underwood.
