The tours and events planned by conference co-chairs Chuck Henderson and William J. Schwarz will give the op- portunity to view a range of public and private sites—some of which are rarely open to the public. I offer many thanks to them for their work. Additionally I would like to thank conference speakers chair Richard Longstreth for putting together a stimulating series of morning lectures, board members Marsha Shyer and Scott Perkins for developing a Edith K. Payne pertinent program for the Homeowners and Public Sites Dinner, George Board President Meyer for spearheading our enticing silent auction, Mary and Steven Swig for hosting the Leadership Circle event, and all of the homeowners opening their homes to us. We are fortunate, as well, to have a board of directors that works tirelessly to fulfill the mission of the Conservancy, and to have at our helm executive director Janet Halstead, who, together with our staff Joel Hoglund, Kristen Patzer and John Waters, ensures that the Conservancy continues to function as a respected voice in the preservation community. I also thank you as attendees for contributing your knowledge and your fellowship to our joint preservation endeavor. A special lineup of presentations, discoveries and experiences awaits you here in San Francisco! Thank you for being a part of this annual confer- ence. Your participation here and in our organization throughout the year helps to safeguard the extraordinary architecture that we all value. The Conservancy is grateful to the speakers, homeowners and institu- tions who are generously opening their spaces to us, and to our sponsors for their special support. We also thank our volunteers. All of these contributions are essential ingredients in this conference and we are very grateful. We hope you have a wonderful and enlightening time.

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.

  • Julia Morgan Wyntoon and Other Hearst Projects 1933–1946
    Julia Morgan Wyntoon and Other Hearst Projects 1933–1946 by Taylor Coffman AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH owned by Lynn Forney McMurray, a god- daughter of Julia Morgan, shows a large group of people at Wyntoon. Miss Morgan may be identifiable among them. Lynn thinks the photo dates from 1902 or ’03. It stems from the work being done on that northern California project by Bernard Maybeck for Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Julia Morgan, Lynn reasons, had recently returned from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was taking part in Wyntoon’s devel- opment under Maybeck. I’ve never confirmed Lynn’s theory, but it doesn’t seem far- fetched. Everyone knows that Maybeck had been a big influence on Morgan already and that they would keep interacting over the years ahead. However, no buildings are visible in the photo. The period de- picted, in any event, is that of the first-generation Wyntoon Castle—the medieval, Germanic pile that burned down in 1930. By then, at the outset of the thirties decade, Julia Morgan and W. R. Hearst had done some minor work at Wyntoon. In 1928, for in- stance, they built a swimming pool and two tennis courts. Hearst’s mother hadn’t left that property to him at her death in 1919. Instead, he had to persuade his cousin Anne Apperson Flint (a favorite of Phoebe Hearst’s) to sell him Wyntoon Castle in 1925—a point that’s neither here nor there where Morgan’s concerned. It merely means that the established Hearst-Morgan partnership, active at San Simeon since 1919, was at no liberty to do serious work at Wyntoon until the late 1920s.

University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company iii PREFACE Marin County has been written about as a place where charming Indian legends abound, where misty beauty evokes a breathless appreciation of natural wonders, where tales of the sea are told around cozy hearths, and where nostalgia for the old California of Mexican hidalgos and an exotic array of inter­ national characters finds responsive audience. Even today the primary interests of Marin chroniclers center on old settlers, their lives and their fortunes, and the exotic polyglot of ethnic groups that came to populate the shores of the waters that wash Marin. This effort to analyze by example some of the social processes of Marin is in large part an introductory effort.
