Biographical Note Paul Sterling Hoag was born in Spokane, Washington in 1913. He graduated from Stanford with a degree in architecture in 1934. Between 1945-1946, Hoag worked as a draftsman for Richard Neutra. From 1946 to 1948, he worked for architect Paul Robinson Hunter. In 1949 Hoag began his own independent architectural practice. The majority of Hoag’s work took the form of commissioned residences in the Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, West Bel-Air, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood areas of Los Angeles. He also designed houses and schools in Ojai. Several of his commissions were for additions to buildings originally designed by Julius R. Davidson and R. M. Schindler. During his career Hoag was a prolific writer on architecture, contributing on a regular basis to journals and newspapers. Paul Sterling Hoag died in 2003, at the age of 89 in Bellevue, Washington. Scope and Content note The Paul Sterling Hoag papers span 23 linear feet and date from circa 1950 to circa 1985. About 200 architectural commissions designed by Hoag are documented with drawings and some photography. The collection contains black-and-white and color interior and exterior photographs of Hoag’s buildings mounted on boards with descriptions on the versos, clippings from the Los Angeles Times Home magazine regarding Hoag’s work, a letter from Esther McCoy to Paul Hoag, and architectural drawings and reprographic copies of residential buildings and some commercial and public buildings primarily in the Los Angeles area. Hoag's notable works include his own house; buildings for the Happy Valley Schools (associated with the Krishnamurti Foundation), the Krotona Institute, and a house for the ceramicist Beatrice Wood, all in Ojai; alterations and additions to the former Thomas Mann house by Julius R. Davidson for Mr. Lappen; and alterations to the Schindler-designed Richard Lechner house for Mr. Dyer. The collection is arranged alphabetically by client, in one series.
