"In Gill's two major works in 1929-a Civic Center for Oceanside and a Christian Science church for Coronado-there was a suggestion that waiting had deprived his talents of some of their limberness.
"On two other occasions Gill sought projects in low-cost housing. He made a trip to Ensenada, Baja California, in the late twenties, to try to interest officials in group dwellings for Mexican families. And just before his death in 1936, he was concerned with a project for a series of houses for the unemployed in Santa Barbara.
