The firm Howell, Arendt, Mosher & Grant was formed with architects Wallace W. Arendt, Glen Gaylord Mosher, Robert Grant, and
Henry W. Howell. Wallace W. Arendt received his Bachelor’s of Architecture degree in 1940 from the University of Southern
California. Both Glen Gaylord Mosher and Robert Grant graduated with degrees in Architecture from the University of Nebraska
in 1938. Henry W. Howell left the firm in 1959 and died three years later in 1962. The firm’s office was located in Santa
Barbara, California.
The Howell, Arendt, Mosher & Grant records span 11 linear feet and date from circa 1929 to circa 1977, though the bulk of
the records date from the 1940s and 1950s. The collection is primarily composed of the work of Howell, Arendt, Mosher & Grant
but also includes the work of Howell and Arendt as well as the work of Arendt, Mosher, & Grant, in the form of architectural
drawings, reprographic copies, and handwritten notes, all organized by project. The majority of the projects are in the Santa
