If she had it maybe she would let you hang your clothes there and maybe she would not. Maybe you think you couldn't find room enough in your house for such a big chest. Well, it's easy. You simply line one of your closets with Aromatic Red Cedar Tongue and Groove and presto you have the chest. This material is known as "Ceda'line." It is %" thick by 2" or 3% " wide by 12" to 84" long and lays just like flooring. "Ceda'line" is inexpensive One hundred square feet of surface measure will amply cover the interior of an ordinary closet. Measure up one of yours and see for yourself. Hardwood Head- quarters at Fifth and Brannan Streets, San Francisco, will supply enough "Ceda'line" to cover 100 square feet of space for :i^22.50. A carpenter can put it up in one day, or you can nail it right over the plaster yourself. It's perfectly simple. And there you have your glorified Cedar Chest with its pure, delightfully pungent fragrance. It's moth proof, too. Archilecls— try "Ceda'line" in some of your residences and see how it pleases the ladies. They are the ones who decide.

The mammoth Fairmont Hotel belongs to the classi- cal period.

The Fairmont now looks its best: the towering neighbors dignify its block forms and colossal scale ; its form and mass seemed inappropriate to dominate the eminence, whereas the Mark Hopkins is faithfully the pinnacle of Nob Hill. And Nob Hill is the revivified social mecca of San Franci.sco; the engrossed cosmopolitan surge will be there. Incidentally, Nob Hill requires a stately garage; one of fine appear- ance, equal to any building now or hereafter built.

Architects and Enjfinecri* 70 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER Architectural detail throughout the principal public rooms is char- acteristically Spanish-Moorish; the ceilings are richly endowed with arabesque relief and parti-color designs. Some of the ceilings are heavily beamed and some of the walls are elaborately panelled in designs of mahogany and walnut, whereas some of the walls are of Spanish-plastic severity, concentrating the eye on elaborate window and door embellish- ments and ceilings. The decorations also extend into a generous display of splendid murals; several of them painted by some of California's best artists. A l>road frieze in the ballroom allegorically depicts a processional theme of Spanish-California history, magnificently executed. Futurists have also had their fling to show some things to which God must aspire, to become really great. The hotel exterior presents splendid silhouettes from all points of the compass; a characteristic that is of greatest importance to towering structures. Its mass, position and relationship to the hill and to the adjoining buildings fulfill every requisite.

    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.

Historic Laguna Beach was always a tourist town. Across from Words and photos by Nick’s is the charming Hotel Laguna, built in 1928 on the site of the Verne Maree original hotel that dated back to the 1890s. The picturesque mid- 1930s lifeguard tower on Main Beach was originally a gas station, and brick-paved Peppertree Lane, home to chichi little shops such as La Rue du Chocolat, dates from the same period.
