| Building Notes | Both Charles H. Bebb and Carl F. Gould came into their partnership having already established themselves in their respective fields as individuals and members of highly successful design teams. Joining their complementary strengths, Bebb and Gould became associates in 1914 with the agreement that Bebb would act as engineer and partner in charge of management, contracts and specifications, and Gould as principal designer and planner. In the early decades of the 20th century, Bebb & Gould flourished, designing over two hundred projects, churches, civic buildings, homes, commercial structures and monuments. These designs took on a variety of architectural styles, depending on the wishes of the client, siting, and financial considerations. One of their more notable commissions was that of general plan for the University of Washington campus and the design of eighteen university buildings, of which their drawings for Eagleson Hall, (the University Branch of the YMCA) are an example. The Bebb & Gould plan for the campus resolved the difficulties that arose from combining the existing campus buildings with the Rainier Vista axis that the Olmsted Brothers designed for the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The coherence of the central campus derives from Bebb & Gould's design. Eagleson Hall was completed in 1922, and remained the home of the YMCA until it was sold to the University in 1963. In 1965 the building's interior was completely remodled. This building is sometimes refered to as Egleston Hall. |
