Irving F. Morrow (1884-1952) was born in Oakland, California in 1884. He graduated from UC Berkeley in 1906, and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts from 1908 to 1911. Morrow began his practice in San Francisco and Oakland in 1916, designing schools, houses, banks, theaters, hotels, and commercial buildings. He practiced with William I. Garren (Garren & Morrow, 1916-1925) and with his wife Gertrude Comfort (Morrow & Morrow, 1925-1952). Morrow served as consulting architect of the Golden Gate Bridge and Director of the American Historical Building Survey (HABS) for Northern California.

Gertrude Comfort Morrow (ca. 1892-1987) was born in San Francisco and received her graduate degree in architecture from UC Berkeley in 1914. She worked on her own serving as supervising architect for St. Francis Wood before joining her husband Irving F. Morrow's firm to form Morrow & Morrow (1925- 1952). Other independent projects include the Women's Athletic Club in Oakland and the music building at the Monrovian Seminary and College for Women in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Together, Gertrude and Irving Morrow designed the Alameda-Contra Costa County Building for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition at Treasure Island. Gertrude retired from architecture in 1952, when Irving died. She then became an award-winning ballroom dancer and a landscape watercolorist, and died in Tucson at the age of 95.
