Built in 1929, it’s the design of Timothy Pflueger. He and his firm made several other Mexican-inspired Art Deco buildings in San Francisco. He designed 8 theater buildings including the Castro Theatre, Paramount Theatre in Oakland, New Mission, El Rey and Alhambra theatres. The Stock Exchange Tower and the interior of City Club and City College campus buildings.
In 1940 he brought Diego Rivera, right after his divorce from Frida Kahlo, to do City College mural. Frida went to San Francisco where she reconciled with Diego.

I went crazy today with all the running and preparations. Hotel lost reservations for the guests who are coming from out of town and almost all rooms were booked. Fortunately all went well at the end.
