The architect
- Julia Morgan
Her brief Biography
Julia Morgan is best known for the
private commission of Wm. Randolph Hearst’s estate
at San Simeon and a large array of institutional buildings,
including the interior of the YWCA for the 1915 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition, numerous YWCA facilities, UC
Berkeley Hearst Greek Theater and Women’s Gymnasium,
Mills College El Campanil clock tower, and University
High School (the original Burke School). She also designed
a large number of residences in Pacific & Presidio
Heights, Russian Hill, Sea Cliff and the bay area.
While Julia Morgan’s projects reflect a diversity
of styles and materials, her Beaux-Arts training married
logic and function to aesthetics and ornamentation. Renaissance
Revival, Tudor, Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean styles
were all part of her architectural vocabulary.
