About This Architectural Historical Landmark
William A. Jones designed many of Vallejo signature brown-shingle homes and the landmark Empress Theatre. The Jones House, currently the home of William A Jones’ granddaughter, is the family home designed by Jones in 1912, It is a L-shaped, two-story brown shingle structure with a courtyard and a broad porch held up by four distinctive columns. Architectural Historian, Judy Irwin, has compared his work to that of San Francisco architects Ernest Coxhead and Willis Polk, two of the creators of the Bay Tradition, who in the late 19th century created a new style of residential architectural by reinterpreting historical elements.
Among Jones' larger projects are the exuberantly Beaux Arts-style Empress Theatre (Vallejo Landmarks Geocache #17), the classical Solano County Courthouse in Fairfield (in association with a Sacramento architect), and the Gothic-style First Baptist Church.
William A Jones attended the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art on in San Francisco from 1894 to 1898 while Bernard Maybeck was managing the architectural program. Jones was soon working for two of the San Franciso's leading architects, H.P. Merritt and then Clinton Day, who designed the original City of Paris department store in 1896. By 1898, Jones was back in Vallejo, working as chief architectural draftsman on Mare Island. Jones began designing homes on his own while working at Mare Island, including homes for family members in Santa Clara, San Francisco and Vallejo. In 1905, Jones left Mare Island to work in Reno and he designed a home near Truckee. By 1908, he was back in Vallejo and working on his own. Besides designing buildings on his own, Jones served as an associate architect with out-of-town designers who needed somebody on site in Vallejo. He worked with Julia Morgan when she designed one of Vallejo's grandest homes – the Wilson House (Vallejo Landmark Geocache #8). Across the street, at 901 York, is the Jones Cottage, designed for his son William A. Jones III in 1930.
