Partners:
Allan & Wallace, Architects appear as an entity only in selected building permits, listed below. They appear to have been an informal partnership, or perhaps they chose to collaborate on selected buildings. Noel Stanley Wallace listed himself as an employee of James T. Allan in the 1928 City Directory. From 1929-1934 Wallace shared the same office space with Allan in the Brandeis Building. It is during this time that some buildings are designated, by building permit, as the work of Allan & Wallace, Architects. City directories, however, never list the two together in partnership, and Allan never mentions a partnership in his application for registration; in fact, in Allan’s application he takes sole credit for three of the buildings listed below as collaborative works. Wallace moved his office to a new location in 1935, and continued to practice on his own.
