Coxhead & Coxhead was an architectural partnership formed by the British-born brothers Ernest Albert Coxhead (1863-1933) and, Almeric William Silvester Coxhead (1862-1928). They had emigrated to the USA in 1886 and settled in Los Angeles where they established a practice. In 1890 they relocated the business to San Francisco. Initially they practised as Ernest A. Coxhead, however, by 1891 the firm was known as Coxhead & Coxhead.
The Coxhead & Coxhead partnership was dissolved following the death of Almeric Coxhead in 1928.
