    THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University A5 In partial fulfillment of The Requirements for The Degree Mi ST Master of Arts . Y\5$ In History by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California May, 2016 Copyright by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. 2016 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Gargoyles of San Francisco: Medievalist Architecture in Northern California 1900-1940 by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr., and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in History at San Francisco State University. <2 . d. rbel Rodriguez, lessor of History Philip Dreyfus Professor of History THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California 2016 After the fire and earthquake of 1906, the reconstruction of San Francisco initiated a profusion of neo-Gothic churches, public buildings and residential architecture. This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

    PROPOSAL FOR THE REHABILITATION and ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE HENRY J. KAISER CONVENTION CENTER One Lake Merritt Submitted to the City of Oakland CREA TIVE November 12, 2014 DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS Text Here PROPOSAL FOR THE REHABILITATION and ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE HENRY J. KAISER CONVENTION CENTER Submitted to the City of Oakland November 12, 2014 CREA TIVE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS November 12, 2014 Dear Oakland, We love you. There, we said it. Feels much better to just come right out with it before we say anything else. We love you for so many reasons - you’re diverse, passionate and creative - you make us feel special. You make the Bay Area feel special. You stand for equality and opportunity while the world around us seems to simply stand by as equality and opportunity pass by. We’d do anything to be with you. So we’re giving you our heart, our imagination, and our soul. Please meet One Lake Merritt. Over the last two years, Creative Development Partners has fallen even more deeply in love with Oakland in assembling One Lake Merritt. We have learned a great deal, through the engagement of so many segments of the community, how we can build what Oakland needs, wants and deserves. But ultimately, we are proposing One Lake Merritt because we are an Oakland team. We are the team, the investors, and the deep relationships with the community, institutions and organizations, to work with the City to transform the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center into a project that creates opportunities for all, propels the economy, and lifts up our identity.
