Andrew J. Bryan was born in 1850 in Livingston County, United States.
At the age of twenty-two he left for the west, and eventually settled in San Francisco where he established an architectural office. For several years he carried on practice there, also designed a number of buildings in Butte County. Shortly after the turn of the century (about 1906) Mr. Bryan moved to Long Beach, Calif., but how long he maintained an office there is uncertain.
During the summer of 1921 he was elected to membership in the A.I.A., although the letter notifying him of that fact was nor delivered to his home at Chico until the day of his funeral.
