Paul R. Williams and A. Quincy Jones obviously had a mutual respect for each other as they collaborated on around 20 projects after World War II (see annotated project list and bibliography below). Jones worked for Williams briefly before the war in 1939-40 and they both also worked on the Roosevelt Naval Base, Terminal Island during 1942. My Jones research at UCLA uncovered correspondence from Jones to Williams near war's end asking for advice on a residential project he was moonlighting on. The "association" between Williams and Jones worked pretty much like this: Williams got the clients and Jones did the design and construction oversight, a win-win for the duo as Jones built up a nice body of work for high-powered clients while he got established and Williams got half the fees.
The Pauley group had a grand vision to further develop the island as a private, membership only resort. (See "Pacific Island Turned Into South Sea Paradise", Los Angeles Times, Feb 17, 1947, p. 9). The article with renderings describes the purchase and plans to spend an additional $500,000 to create a "combination millionaire's playground and crossroads hostel for high level international citizens." The article goes on to state that there will soon be thirty members with as many as 150 to follow.
The consortium commissioned Jones and Williams in 1946 to prepare plans for 26 suites or cottages, tennis courts, a Pearl Harbor Yacht Club and other recreational and related facilities and remodeling the Holmes mansion and barracks and other facilities erected by the Army for a rest camp for combat officers. Jones, a Naval officer based in the Hawaiian Islands during the war, was a natural to head up the design and made the original exploratory trips to Hawaii and prepared the below presentation renderings and a model which was photographed by Julius Shulman. "The designs were the height of modernity, with the fixtures and furniture reflecting the "jungle deco" style all the rage during the era."(See Klieger, p. 135). The presentation renderings at the top and below were undoubtedly used in marketing the resort to prospective members.
The five original investors spent their leisure time on Coconut Island for years and entertained various development ideas but nothing concrete came to pass. Pauley, who evolved into the island's chief steward, hosted many famous people during his ownership including Harry Truman (one month stay in 1953), Lyndon B. Johnson, Red Skelton, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan.
Williams' and Jones's involvement with Pauley (and Mosher) on this project paid handsome dividends down the road for both of them. Williams was chosen by the Regents to be executive architect for Botany Building on UCLA's Westwood campus. (See "New UCLA Botanical Structure Started", Los Angeles Times, May 4, 1958, p. VI-12). Jones (with partner Frederick E. Emmons) was chosen in the early 1960s to design UCLA's AIA award-winning Charles R. Young Research Library where his papers are now fittingly archived. (See $5 Million Research Library at UCLA Open", Los Angeles Times, Nov 22, 1964, p. IX-19 and Finding Aid for the A. Quincy Jones Papers, 1942-1979). Ironically, Jones was also later to become Dean of the USC School of Architecture.

Jones and Williams at work. (from p. 15, http://www.pspreservationfoundation.org/pdf/center_nomination_29apr09.pdf)
One of the duo's earliest post-war collaborations was for the rather unknown Coconut Island Club International proposal just off the coast of Oahu near Honolulu in 1946. I ran across the photograph of the project presentation drawing below while browsing through the Huntington Library's Maynard Parker Archives Database for Williams. The project intrigued me so I started to dig a little deeper.

Los Angeles oilman Edwin W. Pauley, also the former treasurer of the National Democratic Party and Reparations Commissioner after the end of World War II, first saw Coconut Island on his way to Japan in 1945. He shortly joined with four partners to purchase the idyllic 20-acre island off the coast of Oahu in Kaneohe Bay in May, 1946 for $250,000 from the estate of the late Chris Holmes II, Santa Barbara heir to the Fleischmann Yeast fortune and Hawaii tuna-packing magnate. Much on Holmes's prior development of the island can be found in The Fleischmann Yeast Family and Moku o Lo'e: A History of Coconut Island. (see below).
"Moku o Lo'e: A History of Coconut Island" by P. Christiaan Klieger, Bishop Museum Press
The Pauley group had a grand vision to further develop the island as a private, membership only resort. (See "Pacific Island Turned Into South Sea Paradise", Los Angeles Times, Feb 17, 1947, p. 9). The article with renderings describes the purchase and plans to spend an additional $500,000 to create a "combination millionaire's playground and crossroads hostel for high level international citizens." The article goes on to state that there will soon be thirty members with as many as 150 to follow.
The consortium commissioned Jones and Williams in 1946 to prepare plans for 26 suites or cottages, tennis courts, a Pearl Harbor Yacht Club and other recreational and related facilities and remodeling the Holmes mansion and barracks and other facilities erected by the Army for a rest camp for combat officers. Jones, a Naval officer based in the Hawaiian Islands during the war, was a natural to head up the design and made the original exploratory trips to Hawaii and prepared the below presentation renderings and a model which was photographed by Julius Shulman. "The designs were the height of modernity, with the fixtures and furniture reflecting the "jungle deco" style all the rage during the era."(See Klieger, p. 135). The presentation renderings at the top and below were undoubtedly used in marketing the resort to prospective members.
Renderings from "Moku o Lo'e" pp. 134-5 and the Pauley Collection.
The resort club failed to gain momentum mainly due to the price of membership. By the time the idea was dropped, $500,000 in improvements had already been made under the direction of the joint venture local supervising architect Cyril H. Lemmon of Belt, Lemmon & Lowe. (Klieger, p. 138). The partners then considered a plan to develop the island into a modern, luxurious 117 room hotel. That idea was finally realized as a greatly scaled-back Coconut Island Hotel built at a cost of $20,000 with accommodations for 32 guests opened in February 1950. The venture was short-lived and closed by the end of 1951.
The five original investors spent their leisure time on Coconut Island for years and entertained various development ideas but nothing concrete came to pass. Pauley, who evolved into the island's chief steward, hosted many famous people during his ownership including Harry Truman (one month stay in 1953), Lyndon B. Johnson, Red Skelton, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan.
In an interesting sidebar, in 1948 Pauley had a desire to make more productive year-round use of the island and decided to donate portion of the coral reef-surrounded paradise to the University of Hawaii to be used as a marine research facility. (See Klieger, p. 215, and "Coconut Island Now a Haven for Scientists", Los Angeles Times, Nov 19, 1948, p. 5). The following link provides an update on the status of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology. (Note: University of California Regent Pauley also donated $5,000,000 towards construction of the Pauley Pavilion at UCLA. See the following link to view a list of Notable Past Regents including both Pauley and Coconut Island partner Samuel Mosher, President of Signal Oil).
Williams' and Jones's involvement with Pauley (and Mosher) on this project paid handsome dividends down the road for both of them. Williams was chosen by the Regents to be executive architect for Botany Building on UCLA's Westwood campus. (See "New UCLA Botanical Structure Started", Los Angeles Times, May 4, 1958, p. VI-12). Jones (with partner Frederick E. Emmons) was chosen in the early 1960s to design UCLA's AIA award-winning Charles R. Young Research Library where his papers are now fittingly archived. (See $5 Million Research Library at UCLA Open", Los Angeles Times, Nov 22, 1964, p. IX-19 and Finding Aid for the A. Quincy Jones Papers, 1942-1979). Ironically, Jones was also later to become Dean of the USC School of Architecture.
