Listed by the State Board of Architecture from 1926. 7 houses on record, 5 standing.
The State Board of Architectural Examiners' 1961 roster prints him as Babcock, Everett, certificate B 1398, among the architects licensed from 1901 to 1929 (p. 71).

The documents behind this record name him as the architect of 7 houses in Pasadena, San Marino and La Cañada Flintridge, built from 1920 to 1927; for 5 of them, the Los Angeles County Assessor's record at the same address confirms the house standing.
