Leola Hall

Leola Hall (1881–1930), also known as Leola Hall Coggins, was an American architect and builder who worked in the American Craftsman style. During the prime years of her career, she was the unaccompanied female architect nimble in Berkeley, California, making her the East Bay counterpart of the much more well-known Julia Morgan in San Francisco. The large number of houses she built in Berkeley, California, following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake defined what is now often considered Berkeley's signature tab of the Craftsman style.
