Sutton and Weeks was an architecture firm of Albert Sutton (1867 – 1923) and Charles Peter Weeks (1870 – 1928) from 1904 to 1910. There were few buildings designed by Sutton and Weeks in Oakland; one was the Farmers and Merchants Savings Bank constructed in 1910. Weeks is better known for his partnership in Weeks and Day.
There was a bit of a scandal about their design of the Washington and Lincoln Schools. In 1908, a grand jury found them responsible for faulty design and construction. Sutton and Weeks refused to make changes to the buildings at their own expense. Sutton and Weeks sued the board of education for $3,534 which they said they were still owed. The board of education counter sued for $18,225, which they said it is what fixing the buildings cost. It's unknown how this turned out.
