Theatre Architects

The partnership of Floyd E. Stanbery (1891-1949) and Clifford A. Balch (1880-1965) was formed around 1920 and seems to have dissolved by the early-to-mid 1930s.

Balch was born in Minnesota and lived there until the late 1800s when his family relocated to California, where he lived in both Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles. Balch died in Los Angeles at the age of 83.

Stanbery was born in Iowa and lived in Mason City, relocating to California by 1920. Stanbery died in Los Angeles at the age of 57.

The architectural firm of Balch and Stanbury specialized in the design of movie theatres and was active across all of Southern California.
