Biography

Philip Fein was an architectural photographer working primarily during the 1950s and 60s in California. He photographed both residential and commercial buildings, and landscapes. Based on the records, it appears that he was exclusively contracted by firms to document architectural sites.

Architects and landscape architects represented in the collection include Thomas Church, Douglas Baylis, Clarence Tantau, Frederick Langhorst, and William Wurster.
