Biographical/Historical note John Outcault was born in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois. His parents moved to Palm Springs in 1936. They owned and operated the Townhouse Hotel (now the Avalon). Outcault graduated from Palm Springs High School in 1945 and served in the U.S. Navy in 1946. Outcault attended the University of Southern California School of Architecture in 1946-1952, graduating with a B. of Architecture. While he was a student he apprenticed in the offices of Clark and Frey, in Palm Springs. Outcault worked in several different offices before opening his own practice. He worked for the State of California Division of Architecture, 1952-1953; for Alfred Easton Poor, Architect in New York City, 1953-1956; for Clark, Frey & Chambers in 1956. In that same year he opened his architecture office in Palm Desert. Outcault received his New York Architecture license in 1954, and his California license in 1957. Outcault had two children with his first wife, Betty, whom he married in 1957. He married Francis Outcault in 1974. In the early days of Palm Desert, he served on the Board of Trustees of the College of the Desert, was active in the development of the Living Desert Reserve, and involved in the growth and incorporation of the city of Palm Desert. Between 1957 and 1998 Outcault designed many commercial, public, and residential buildings, most of them located in the Coachella Valley. He died in 1998.
