James D. Wickenden practiced architecture in Northern California after graduating from UC Berkeley's school of architecture
in 1925. He worked as a draftsman in Clarence Tantau's office for the early part of his career, possibly while he was still
in school. He resided in Berkeley, California.
The James D. Wickenden collection consists of student work and other drawings. Coursework includes drawing exercises from
high school and from a Stereotomy course (Architecture 107) at UC Berkeley. Project drawings are primarily residential, and
include the Gilman house in Carmel (1937), the Campbell house in Palo Alto (1932), the Hinman house in Lake Tahoe (n.d.),
and the Dowsett house (1929, location unknown). The collection also includes numerous unidentified sketches.
