John Byers.
Certificate reported 1927. 3 houses on record, 3 standing.
The State Board of Architectural Examiners' 1961 roster prints him as Byers, John, certificate B 1531, among the architects licensed from 1901 to 1929 (p. 72). Architect and Engineer printed his certificate from the State Board of Architecture (vol. 88 (Jan. to Mar. 1927), p. 105).

Every house on record.
Standing houses first, then the rest, each with the name as the documents print it, the builder and the first family where a document names them, and every document behind it.
