Tour Julia Morgan’s “Little Castle”
Join the Fifty-Plus group as they tour the Berkeley City Club which was designed by Julia Morgan. The tour takes place Tuesday, February 27th. Julia Morgan was the first female architect to be licensed in the state of California, and designed numerous buildings including Hearst Castle. She was also a civil engineer whose knowledge of concrete-reinforced buildings was ahead of her time, and helped her buildings withstand earthquake stresses.
The “Little Castle” is designed in Romanesque and Gothic style architecture and was originally the Berkeley Women’s Club. Morgan’s engineering skills were matched by her attention to detail in furnishings, light fixtures, and other elements. The cost for the tour is $10, and each person will pay for lunch, available in the Berkeley City Club. Meet in the church parking lot to carpool at 10am. Sign up after worship on February 25th. For more information, phone Carol Griffith (contact office for info).
