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.

  • 1969 Budget Analysis: Capital Outlay
    Capital Outlay CAP IT At. OUTLAY Summary 1968 Program The Budget Act of 1968 as signed by the Governor contained ap­ proximately $146,046,000 for capital outlay. Of this, $71,620,000 was from the General ]'und and the balance from (1) various special funds ($50,775,000), excluding water and highways, and (2) bond funds in the areas of recreation, parks and junior college state construction as­ sistance ($23,651,000). There are a number of observations pertinent to the amount and nature of this 1968 outlay total. First, it was the smallest capital outlay appropriation since the fiscal year 1962-63. Second, the amount of bond funds was relatively minor for the first time in ten years. Third, it contained an item of some $3,340,000 for purposes which had been treated as local assistance in previous budget acts. Fourth, overall it represented essentially a "pay-as-you-go" construction program. In addition to the $71,620,000 directly appropriated from the Gen­ eral Fund, it should be noted that of the special funds amount, $37,- 730,000 was from the Capital Outlay Fund for Public Higher Educa­ tion. This fund is fed by tidelands oil reveneus which otherwise would have accrued to the General Fund. Therefore, as a practical matter, approximately 75 percent of the total 1968 capital outlay appropria­ tion had its origin in the General Fund. The limited bond funds that were allocated by the 1968 Budget Act were largely directed to higher education (junior colleges). All of the balance of $3 million remaining in the Higher Education Bond Act Fund was allocated to augment projects previously funded from it for the purpose of financing increased costs attributable to a sharp rise in the construction cost index.

    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Fisherman’s Warf and the Piers + North Beach Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built in 1978. The marina is also home to the floating Forbes Island restaurant. The sea lions at Pier 39 have become a tourist attraction in their own right. Although the reason for their migration to the pier *** Pier 39 Warren Simmons Pier 39 is unclear, the refurbishing of the docks in September 1989 required the removal of all boats from that area, leaving large open spaces for the sea lions to move into. Once the project was completed, boat owners returned, but did their best to navigate around the sea lions; no efforts were made to encourage the new guests to leave. Aquarium of the Bay was built in 1996 as an aquarium. It added additional attractions to the original building and has 273 species and more than 60,000 fish. Sharks circle overhead, manta rays sweep by and seaweed sways all around at the Aquarium of the Bay, where you * Aquarium of the Bay ?

General admission $27.95. Mon-Sun (10am-6pm) A few California sea lions began “hauling out” on PIER 39’s K-Dock shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake hit San Francisco in October 1989. By January 1990, the boisterous barking pinnipeds started to *** Sea Lion Colony - Pier 39 arrive in droves and completely took over K-Dock, much to the exasperation of PIER 39’s Marina tenants.

But secretly, everyone likes it a little, and having guests from out of town is the perfect excuse for cynical old-timers to go. What's It Like? All San Franciscans love to hate Fisherman's Wharf. Content never to visit the area, they complain of the tacky shops selling cheap souvenirs, the "novelty" museums whose novelty has long worn off and busloads of tourists blocking the view to Alcatraz. But secretly, everyone likes it a little, and having guests from out of town is the perfect excuse for otherwise cynical old-timers to "force" themselves to go. And it is possible to have a cheap, good time. Just avoid the wax museums and the "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt stands, and what's left are some of the best views in the city, fresh Dungeness crab and the ever-amusing sea lions. Last year, almost 12 million people made their way to the Wharf. In international surveys, it ranks as the No. 1 destination for SF-bound visitors, right ahead of Chinatown and the Golden Gate Bridge.
