We all know the celebrated Julia Morgan Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA but the Hearst Building smack downtown on Market Street is a hidden treasure in the City.

Here is the lobby with spectacular marble and Art Deco grandeur and detail.

Visited the National Trust for Historic Preservation Office with Stacey de Shazo and her graduate students at Sonoma State University and Brian Turner of the local chapter office.

Stacey de Shazo is an amazing architectural historian and we are fortunate to have her working with us at The Francis House restoration.
