Walter J. Mathews

Walter J. Mathews

Walter J. Mathews (1850–1947) was an American architect based in Oakland, California. He was best known for his designs of Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and the First Unitarian Church of Oakland.

His father, Julius C. Mathews, was also an architect. The family moved from Wisconsin in 1866, and Walter and his brothers trained in the office of their father. He began practicing independently in Oakland by 1886. His projects were typical of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including office buildings, hotels, theaters, clubs, commercial buildings, churches, and houses. He remained in practice in Oakland until at least 1940.
