Stanley Rollin Gould

Stanley Gould was born in Portland, Oregon on April 23, 1906. He would go on to work for Parkinson & Parkinson (1928-34), A.C. Zimmerman (1935-36), and Reginald Johnson (1937-38).

Early in his career Stanley Gould was awarded the official position of “Manager – Architectural Department”, commonly known as the “Chief Architect” for the 10th Olympiad, held in Los Angeles in 1932. His duties included designing and overseeing construction of all Southern California Olympic facilities, which included his design of the Olympic Torch located in the Los Angeles Coliseum, that remains today as a permanent reminder of the Olympics.

After founding Risley and Gould, Architects in 1943, he served USC as an instructor for 5th year architecture design (ca. 1948) and the Los Angeles AIA chapter in various officer capacities between 1951-54 (he joined the local chapter in 1942). He was married in 1929 and had two children in 1956. Stanley Gould died on October 6, 1991 in Los Angeles.
