Julia Morgan Building
The Julia Morgan Building is a Jacobean Revival building commissioned by the San Francisco Ladies Protection and Relief Society. The building was designed by Julia Morgan and opened its doors in 1925.
Constructed with reinforced concrete for earthquake resilience, the structure showcases a blend of brick, terracotta, and slate, adorned with Tudor rose motifs that symbolize love and protection.
Today, as Heritage on the Marina, the premises serves as a retirement community for the elderly.
