Wright and Gentry

Wright and Gentry operated in Long Beach, California, in the 1920s, with principals Francis H. Gentry and Parker O. Wright, Jr.

The practice was very busy designing residences, fraternal halls, churches and schools – about 13 in Long Beach, and 25 elsewhere in Southern California.

Wright and Gentry designed both the York Rite Temple (now converted to loft apartments) and the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Long Beach, California.
