John Muir National Historic Site

The John Muir National Historic Site is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Martinez, Contra Costa County, California. It preserves the 14-room Italianate Victorian mansion where the naturalist and writer John Muir lived, as well as a nearby 325-acre (132 ha) tract of native oak woodlands and grasslands historically owned by the Muir family. The main site is on the edge of town, in the shadow of State Route 4, also known as the "John Muir Parkway." History Mansion The mansion was built in 1883 by Dr. John Strentzel, Muir's father-in-law, with whom Muir went into partnership, managing his 2,600-acre (1,100 ha) fruit ranch. Muir and his wife, Louisa, moved into the house in 1890, and he lived there until his death in 1914. Alhambra Trestle In 1897, for the sum of $10, Muir and Louisa ceded a right of way to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad. The document describes the land upon which the Alhambra Trestle is located. The railway was completed in 1900 and used by the Muirs to ship their fruit. Preservationist While living here, Muir realized many of his greatest accomplishments, co-founding and serving as the first president of the Sierra Club, in the wake of his battle to prevent Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, playing a prominent role in the creation of several national parks, writing hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and several books expounding on the virtues of conservation and the natural world, and laying the foundations for the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The home contains Muir's "scribble den," as he called his study, and his original desk, where he wrote about many of the ideas that are the bedrock of the modern conservation movement. Archive and Landmark The Muir house was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1960. It became a National Historic Site in 1964, is California Historical Landmark #312 and a National Historic Landmark, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1988 nearby Mount Wanda Nature Preserve (named for one of John Muir's two daughters) was added to the Historic Site. The John Muir National Historic Site offers a biographical film, tours of the house and nature walks on Mount Wanda. The site includes the Vicente Martínez Adobe.

Second Church of Christ, Scientist (San Francisco)

The former Second Church of Christ, Scientist is an historic Christian Science church building located at the corner of Dolores Street and Cumberland Street, across from Dolores Park in the Mission District of San Francisco, California, United States. Built in 1916, it was designed by San Francisco architect William H. Crim in the Beaux Arts style. The building was sold in 2012, and conversion into four condominiums was completed in 2016. Building Designed in a classical-derived Beaux Arts style, the building has a symmetrical facade with three doors, and large, arched windows. It had oak paneling and pews, marble steps and marble flooring in the lobby, and an organ that was brought from the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition. The wood-framed truss system dome is one of two in San Francisco. Conversion By 2008, the congregation had dwindled to fewer than 100 people, who could not afford to pay for mandatory seismic retrofitting of the 1000-seat church and proposed demolishing it to build a smaller church and condominium buildings on the site. After the city planning department recommended retaining the building for its historic value, it was put up for sale. In 2012 it was sold to commercial property developer Siamak Akhavan, who had previously bought and converted another church at 601 Dolores Street, now a school. The congregation moved to 2287 Mission Street. In 2016, conversion of the building into four condominiums under the name The Light House was completed. Three units of approximately 5000 square feet are within the main body of the building. A slightly smaller penthouse was created under the dome, which was cut free and raised approximately ten feet to increase ceiling height and reveal the windows that circle the dome, with the oculus remaining in position suspended above the apartment. Akhavan himself moved into the penthouse. The four units share a private park.

St. Francis Lutheran Church

Saint Francis Lutheran Church was built in 1905 and is located at 152 Church Street, between Market Street and Duboce Street in San Francisco, California. The church building has stained glass windows and Memorial Terrace outside. History In 1899, First Finnish Lutheran Church was founded on 50 Belcher Street, in what then was considered part of the Eureka Valley district of San Francisco, but what is located on the outskirts of what today is best known as the Castro District. Next to it, on September 17, 1905, the cornerstone was laid for the Danish St. Ansgar Church at 152 Church Street, between Market Street and Duboce Avenue. During the April 18, 1906, San Francisco earthquake and its aftermath, the parsonage served as a feeding station and hospital. In 1964, St. Ansgar merged with First Finnish Lutheran Church. The name for the united church, St. Francis Lutheran Church, was derived from San Francisco. Before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, nearly all the kids attending the McKinley school (now McKinley Elementary School) at 1025 14th Street (at Castro Street) were Finnish. Following the earthquake, a large number of Finns from San Francisco and elsewhere moved to Berkeley, where a Finnish community had been established already before the earthquake. A large part of the early Berkeley population was Finnish. St. Francis Lutheran Church was built by immigrants from the Nordic countries, where Lutheranism is the largest religious group. The church was built in the heart of what was then the Nordic-dominated Duboce-Market neighborhood of San Francisco. The brick and wood frame of the St. Francis Lutheran Church building survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and then was used for several months as an infirmary. Following the 1906 earthquake, the same year, Finns founded the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Berkeley, at University Avenue, where the Lutheran congregation still operates today. 66 years before the erection of St. Francis Lutheran Church, the very first Protestant church on the Pacific Coast was erected by Finns and Swedes and other Lutherans who worked for the Russian-American Company, which was established in 1802. That first Lutheran church was the Sitka Lutheran Church in Alaska, built in 1840.

Iglesia Luterana de San Francisco

La Iglesia Luterana de San Francisco (en inglés: Saint Francis Lutheran Church) es un templo de culto luterano ubicado en el distrito de Castro, en la ciudad de San Francisco, California. Construida en 1905, su comunidad forma parte del Sínodo de la Sierra del Pacífico de la Iglesia evangélica luterana en América (ELCA).​ Historia En 1899, la comunidad finlandesa residente en la ciudad construyó la Primera Iglesia Luterana Finesa, en el entonces distrito de Eureka Valley, en lo que actualmente se conoce como Castro. Por su parte, la comunidad danesa, también de mayoría luterana, colocó la primera piedra de la Iglesia Danesa de San Ascario en el 152 de la Church Street el 17 de septiembre de 1905, en las actuales dependencias del templo.​ Luego del terremoto de San Francisco de 1906, ambas estructuras sobrevivieron al sismo. El templo de los finlandeses sirvió como una estación de alimentación para damnificados y luego como un hospital infantil, mientras que la iglesia danesa fue facilitada a la Cruz Roja Americana como enfermería.​ Tras el desastre natural, varias de las familias finlandesas se mudaron a Berkeley, donde existía una comunidad más numerosa de finlandeses y de otros nórdicos, para fundar allí la Iglesia Luterana de La Cruz.​ No fue hasta 1964, cuando las comunidades finlandesas y danesas se unificaron, dando inicio a la comunidad luterana de San Francisco, en honor al santo patrono de la ciudad. Fue así como el actual templo fue construido por la comunidad proveniente de países nórdicos y sus descendientes residiendo en California, en el corazón del sector Duboce de la Market Street, en aquel entonces un barrio con fuerte presencia nórdica.​ En 1995, la comunidad fue expulsada de la ELCA por oponerse a una disposición de la iglesia que obligaba al celibato a los pastores que se autodefinieran como homosexuales, bisexuales o transexuales, prohibiendo cualquier tipo de relación entre personas del mismo sexo dentro del clero LGBT. Sin embargo, en febrero de 2011 fueron reincorporados a la iglesia nacional tras una votación de la comunidad en 2010, y una vez que la iglesia a nivel nacional eliminara esa prohibición homoafectiva.​ En el siglo XXI, esta comunidad destaca por ser inclusiva en medio del catalogado barrio gay de Castro, participando activamente en actividades para la aceptación social de la comunidad LGBT en la ciudad,​ particularmente de aquellos laicos que profesan el cristianismo, como también a favor de la ordenación de pastores LGBT.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial (en inglés) Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Iglesia Luterana de San Francisco.

San Francisco Fountain

San Francisco Fountain is a bronze sculpture and fountain completed in 1970 by Ruth Asawa, located outside the Grand Hyatt San Francisco in downtown San Francisco, California, United States. Description and history The cylinder-shaped sculpture, which serves as the outer wall of the fountain basin, features bas-relief scenes of San Francisco, "whimsically interrelated". It measures approximately 90 inches (2.3 m) tall, with a diameter of 193 inches (4.9 m), and is set into a base of brick stairs. Albert Lanier served as the architect; credited assistants include Aiko Asawa, Haru Awara, Mae Lee, Mei Mei, Hector Villanueva, and Sally Woodbridge. Writing in The Journal of Modern Craft, Sue Archer described the genesis of the fountain: (Asawa) became involved with the fountain project by chance: architect Chuck Bassett of the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill happened to see an exhibition at the California Redwood Association that featured sculpture by Asawa as well as work by some of the children who attended the Alvarado Elementary School. Bassett was part of the design team for the new Grand Hyatt San Francisco, and wanted to find an artist to help realize an engaging design for the fountain that was to sit just in front of the hotel's entrance. The children's work in the Redwood Association exhibition had been crafted from a substance Ruth called "baker's clay," an inedible mixture of flour, salt, and water, which could be worked like real ceramic and then "fired" in an ordinary oven. The children's works depicted scenes from daily life at Alvarado. Charmed, Bassett suggested that Asawa work with children from different parts of the city to create a large, low-relief for the fountain's exterior. The cast bronze cylinder that resulted bore the efforts of children and friends of Asawa's, including leaves fashioned by Ruth's mother, Haru Asawa. The work was surveyed and labeled "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture! program in September 1992. In May 2016, Apple Inc. completed construction of a new flagship store on the northwest corner of Post and Stockton Streets. The project included renovating the public space located between the new store and a hotel on the southwest corner of Sutter and Stockton Streets. The renovated public open space now includes wooden tables, chairs, planters with trees, a "living wall," a new multi-color "LOVE" sculpture and Ruth Asawa's San Francisco Fountain. Some restoration and preservation work on the fountain was done as part of the project.
