Notes	Bernarr Judson Garnett was born in Chicago, IL on January 7, 1906. In 1920, his family moved to California. The family including his mother Sadie A. Garnett and brother William A. Garnett (who later became a noted fine art aerial photographer) moved back and forth between Altadena, CA and Pasadena, CA until Bernarr was married, around 1938. Garnett and his wife lived in Altadena until around 1942, when they, again, moved back to Pasadena, CA (to 1602 Las Lunas). Garnett continued to reside in Pasadena until his death on September 21, 1993. Pasadena and Altadena voter registration indexes list Garnett’s occupation as a designer. One of his light fixture designs won first prize at the Pacific Southwest Exposition in Long Beach in 1928 and at the Pomona County Fair, Pomona, CA. According to the 1937 edition of Thurston’s Pasadena Directory, Garnett was employed by Wilkinson-Scott, an electrical equipment and supply company. In 1947, he is listed as “with Wilkinson’s” (formerly known as Wilkinson-Scott), a lighting equipment manufacturer. In the same directory Wilkinson’s is listed with the names of W.B. Wilkinson and B.J. Garnett and the address of 182 South Raymond Avenue, Pasadena. The building at this address was built in 1931 for the company and is thus named The Wilkinson Building. The building is a designated historic property in a historic district listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Wilkinson-Scott Company designed and manufactured many of the lighting fixtures for the Central Pasadena Public Library.
