Internet Archive building

The Internet Archive building, originally built for the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, is a historic building located at 300 Funston Avenue, corner of Clement Street, in the Richmond District of San Francisco, California. Built in 1923, it was designed by noted San Francisco architect Carl Werner in the Classical Revival style with Corinthian columns. The approximately 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2) building is now the headquarters of the Internet Archive. History 1922 cost estimates rose from $125,000 to $150,000. A San Francisco Chronicle estimate in November 1923 projected $175,000 for the project. Due to the dwindling size of its congregation and the increased cost of maintaining such a large building, the building was sold in September 2009 to the Internet Archive for $4.5 million. The Archive chose the church based on its Greek Revival design, which resembles the logo of the Internet Archive, which features the Library of Alexandria. A 2021 SF Chronicle article described the main room as cavernous, quiet and "diffused with a golden light that filters through the windows." The auditorium has hymn numbers on either side of the stage, including 200, 404 and 451, representing the http status codes for successfully loaded page, unsuccessful, and blocked for legal reasons respectively. The room also houses servers on the back wall that held 1/10th of the archives online material as of 2024 and, since 2009, the room has been home to terracotta sculptures of employees who have worked at the Archive for more than three years. On November 6, 2013, a side building built in the 1940’s as a Christian Science reading room at Internet Archive's headquarters in San Francisco's Richmond District caught fire, destroying equipment and damaging some nearby apartments. According to The Archive, it lost the side-building that housed one of 30 of its scanning centers; cameras, lights, and scanning equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; and "maybe 20 boxes of books and film, some irreplaceable, most already digitized, and some replaceable". The nonprofit Archive sought donations to cover the estimated $600,000 in damage. Founder and Digital Librarian Brewster Kahle often leads the free public tour of the archive that is given every Friday after lunch.

Julia Morgan Hall

Julia Morgan Hall (formerly Girton Hall) is a historic building in the University of California Botanical Garden in Berkeley, California. Built in 1911, the building was designed by prominent California architect Julia Morgan and originally located on the central campus of the University of California, Berkeley, near the present location of the Haas School of Business. It served as a gathering place for Berkeley's female students, who wanted a female counterpart to Senior Hall, the senior men's meeting hall. History Berkeley's female students began planning the hall in 1909 and raised money for the building between 1909 and 1911. The building was first called Girton Hall during this period; the name came from Girton College at the University of Cambridge, which was the first women's residential college in England. When the building opened in 1911, its name changed to Senior Women's Hall. The hall gave women's groups at Berkeley a place to meet and represented a significant step toward gender equality at the university. In 1940, the building was moved 160 feet west to make room for a street extension. In 1969, it became a campus child care center, and its name was changed back to Girton Hall to acknowledge its history, even though the name had never been applied to the building after its construction. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. In 2014, to make way for an expansion of the Haas School of Business, the child care center moved to another location near the university campus, and Girton Hall was cut into four pieces, moved to the UC Botanical Garden, and reassembled. The name of the building was changed to Julia Morgan Hall, and it re-opened to the public in 2015.

Goodman Library

The Goodman Library is a historic library located at 1219 1st St. in Napa, California. Built in 1901, the library was paid for by George E. Goodman and built on land donated by Goodman. Architect Luther M. Turton designed the building in the Richardson Romanesque style, which can be seen in its use of rusticated stone, round arch windows, and massive scale. The design represented a shift in Napa architecture, which was mainly Victorian prior to the library's construction. History The Goodman Library is the longest-operating library in California, partially due to a clause in Goodman's donation of the building. Goodman stipulated that the building would remain in the city's possession as long as it served as a library but would otherwise revert to his heirs. When Napa moved its city library to a different building in the 1970s, the Napa County Historical Society acquired the building for its research library so it would still satisfy its original purpose. At one time, the library housed both the historical society and Napa County Landmarks. The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1974. The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake. A $1.75M contract to repair damage to the building including bracing and a new roof was awarded in January 2017. The work began in April 2017 and was completed in early 2018. The Napa County Historical Society reopened their operations by summer 2018 and maintain library services and an exhibit space to this day.

Griffith Quarry

Griffith Quarry, a registered California Historical Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was a former granite quarry near Penryn, California. History The quarry was established by Griffith Griffith, a native of Wales, in 1864. The quarry produced high-quality granite used to construct many buildings in San Francisco and Sacramento, including parts of the California State Capitol. The 23 acres (9.3 ha) that surround the 2-storey building, made of granite blocks, are the remains of the quarry and its polishing mill. This mill was the first successful granite polishing mill in California. The office of Penryn Granite Works, which ran the quarry, is now the Griffith Quarry Museum that contains history about the site as well as other local history. Some of the original furniture of the Griffith Quarry is intact. Recreation Dirt walking trails can be found throughout the 23-acre park. These trails take visitors through the ruins of the polishing mill and some of the quarry holes from which granite was taken. Printed trail guides are available in the museum.

Helms Pumped Storage Plant

The Helms Pumped Storage Plant is located 50 miles (80 km) east of Fresno, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range's Sierra National Forest. It is a power station that uses Helms Creek canyon on the North Fork of the Kings River for off-river water storage and the pumped-storage hydroelectric method to generate electricity. After being planned in the early 1970s, construction on the plant began in June 1977 and commercial operations began on 30 June 1984. It has an installed capacity of 1,212 MW and is owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Design and operation The power plant operates by moving water between an upper and lower reservoir. When energy demand is high, water is released from the upper reservoir to the generating plant, and the water is discharged into the lower reservoir. When demand is low (such as at night), water is pumped into the upper reservoir to be used as stored energy at a later time. This is accomplished by pump-generators which serve a dual role: the pumps can reverse for use as generators. The plant can go from a standstill to operational in eight minutes, which allows it to meet peak energy demand. It consumes more electricity pumping than generating electricity, but pumping occurs during periods of low demand with unused surplus energy available at lower costs from the electric grid. The upper reservoir, Courtright Reservoir, has a storage capacity of 123,000 acre⋅ft (151,718,266 m3) and is at an altitude of 8,184 ft (2,494 m). Wishon Reservoir, the lower reservoir, has a storage capacity of 129,000 acre⋅ft (159,119,157 m3). It is at an altitude of 6,550 ft (1,996 m). Connecting the reservoirs, from upper to lower, is first a 10,511-foot-long (3,204 m) headrace tunnel which turns into a 2,248-foot-long (685 m) steel penstock, which drops in elevation and splits into three individual penstocks, which each feed a separate pump-generator. After the water has passed through the generating turbines, it is discharged into the lower reservoir via a 3,797-foot-long (1,157 m) tailrace tunnel. The difference in elevation between the reservoirs has an effective hydraulic head (drop of the water) of 1,625 ft (495 m). The underground power station is near Wishon Reservoir and houses three 404 MW Francis pump turbine-generators. The Helms Pumped Storage project was designed to be used with the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, also owned by PG&E, in the 1970s, when Diablo Canyon was being designed and permitted. It is connected to that power plant by a dedicated high-voltage power line.

Hemet Public Library

The Hemet Public Library is a public library in Hemet, California, United States which opened its current building in July 2003. History The library can trace its history back to 1906, when members of the Hemet Woman's Club opened a reading room on the second floor of a bank on the Bothin Block. After the city's incorporation in 1910, citizens voted for their own library, and the new city took over the operation of its library facility. Soon, the upstairs reading room opened by the Woman's Club quickly outgrew itself. Woman's Club members—along with many other community organizations—campaigned to get a public building built to house a permanent library collection. The late Mrs. E. A. Davis composed a letter to Andrew Carnegie asking for the funds to help the community build a new facility. Mr. Carnegie responded by sending a check for $7,500. However, Carnegie placed a contingency on his donation: the City of Hemet had to contribute the remainder of the $12,000 necessary to complete the construction. The City of Hemet agreed to contribute the funds soon after. The land used for the first library facility was donated by Mr. and Mrs. James St. John and the library was built there on the corner of Buena Vista Street and Florida Avenue. Construction of the "Carnegie Library" was completed in early 1913. The Carnegie Library remained open and operated by the city for 52 years. The Carnegie Library was eventually razed in 1969 having stood in the community for 56 years. This made room for the C. B. Covell Memorial Library Building which began construction in March 1971. Named after Clarence B. Covell, a Library Board member from 1910 to 1920, the Covell Memorial Library Building was designed by Hemet architect James Calkins. The Covell Library was 11,400 square feet (1,060 m2) and contained approximately 60,000 items. By the start of the new millennium, the library facilities became too small to accommodate the increasing number of visitors from the growing city, and an expansion of the library was initiated. After months of construction, the City of Hemet opened its current facility on June 21, 2003. Designed by architect John Loomis of 30th Street Architects, the library is approximately 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2). References
