W. H. Weeks

William Henry Weeks (died 1936) was an early 20th century architect who designed many public buildings in California, including schools and many of the Carnegie libraries in Northern California. He was well-known for his monumental Greek Revival neoclassical style of architecture, although he used other styles. He was based in Watsonville.
