3 AN HISTORIC DISTRICT EVALUATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, SAN ANSELMO, MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SUBMITTED BY CASSANDRA CHATTAN, ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE SERVICE SUBMITTED FOR HARTMARIN, REPRESENTING THE SAN FRANCISCO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY M a y 2 6, 2011 A. R. S. Proje ct INTRODUCTION As requested and authorized by HartMarin, representing the property owner, San Francisco Theological Seminary, Archaeological Resource Service has conducted an evaluation for the potential for a historic district within the property described below. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The San Francisco Theological Seminary consists of approximately 19 acres with 25 buildings within this core portion that support the facility. The houses and halls of the Seminary are located on one Assessor s Parcel, and thereby are not separate properties. There have been additional houses in the nearby neighborhood that have been purchased by the Seminary over the years, and are technically part of the Seminary Grounds, but are on discontinuous parcels. PROJECT LOCATION The property is located on the campus of the San Francisco Theological Seminary within the Town of San Anselmo. The project consists of several types of structures, including single family houses, multifamily housing, religious structures, and education buildings. The project area consists of the Seminary core bordered by Bolinas Avenue to the south, Waverly Road to the west, Austin Avenue and Mariposa Avenue to the North, and Richmond Road to the east. These boundaries have also been defined as the proposed historic district boundaries. The Seminary buildings each have their own addresses, but the overall property is known as 105 Seminary Road. The project area lies in the Mexican era land grant of Punta de Quentin within unsectioned land of Township 2 North, Range 6 West extended, Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian. The Universal Transverse Mercator Grid coordinates to the approximate center of the project area, as determined by measurement from the USGS 7.5' San Rafael, California Quadrangle Map (1954, photorevised in 1968) are: Meters North, Meters East, Zone American Alley, Suite A Petaluma, CA (707) FAX (707) Page 17

4 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 REGULATORY SETTING State Regulations The property is being assessed as to whether there is the potential for a historic district. The property has been previously evaluated and several significant historic structures have been identified. These are being further investigated to determine if the property has enough structures with the character, cohesion and integrity to be eligible for the California Register of Historic Places as a Historic District. All historic resources located within the project area will also be identified and evaluated using criteria established in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR and PRC ). Significant historical resources need to be addressed before environmental mitigation guidelines are developed and approved. A significant historical resource (including both a prehistoric and historic resource) is one that is found eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). As per Title 14, California Code of Regulations Section , historical resources are those that are: Figure 1. Location of project area and district boundaries, as shown on a portion of the USGS San Rafael quadrangle map Listed in, or eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historic Resources (Public Resources Code , Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et. seq.); Listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (CRHR); Included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of Section (g) of the Public Resource Code; or 4 Page 18

5 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California, provided the lead agency s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Additionally, historical resources and historic districts designated or listed as city or county landmarks or historic properties or districts pursuant to any city or county ordinance can also be listed in the California Register, if the criteria for listing under the ordinance have been determined by the Office of Historic Preservation to be consistent with California Register criteria adopted by the commission (pursuant to Section (e) of the PRC). A historical resource may be listed in the California Register if it meets any of the following criteria: (1) it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage; (2) it is associated with the lives of persons important in California's past; (3) it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic value; or (4) it has yielded or is likely to yield information important in prehistory or history. CEQA (PRC ) also distinguishes between two classes of archaeological resources: archaeological sites that meet the definition of a historical resource as above, and unique archaeological resources. A unique archaeological resource has been defined in CEQA as an archaeological artifact, object, or site about which it can be clearly demonstrated that, without merely adding to the current body of knowledge, there is a high probability that it meets any of the following criteria: 1) Contains information needed to answer important scientific research questions and that there is a demonstratable public interest in that information, 2) Has a special and particular quality such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type, or 3) Is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person. Buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts representative of California and United States history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture convey significance when they also possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. A resource has integrity if it retains the characteristics that were present during the resource s period of significance. Enough of these characteristics must remain to convey the reasons for its significance. The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, or included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to Section (k) of the PRC), or identified in an historical resources survey (meeting the criteria in Section (g) of the PRC) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in PRC sections (j) or Local Regulations The San Anselmo General Plan of 1989 calls for The Preservation and Restoration of Local Historic Buildings, Features and Sites. The Plan outlines three objectives including endeavor to protect from demolition or destruction or major alteration to any building, feature, or site of local historic value (San Anselmo General Plan 1989). Additionally, the San Anselmo Historical Society has been involved with preservation and identification of local historic structures. Several buildings at the Seminary were evaluated by members of the historical society in the 1980s and written up on Historic Resource Information (HRI) forms that were filed with the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS). As part of this, many of the buildings on the campus were tentatively considered of historical importance. The three Richardson Romanesque style structures the core of the Seminary designed by Wright and Sanders and built by William Barr in 1892 were preliminarily assessed to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. 5 Page 19

6 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Other houses that were inventoried at that time include: 27 Kensington Theater 7N 72 Kensington Ave 6Y 18 Kensington Ct housing 7N 26 Kensington Ct housing 7N 2 Kensington Rd seminary 7N 43 Kensington Road Scott hall 3b 43 Kensington Road Montgomery hall 3D 55 Kensington Road 5S2 59 Kensington road 7n 63 Kensington road 7n 67 Kensington road 7n 73 Kensington Road 7n Important to note is the variation of addresses for different buildings. At different times over the years the main administration building address has been used for the entire Seminary, thus the individual halls have been noted with the one address used by the entire campus. This is why, for example, Montgomery Hall has been listed under the address of 43 Kensington Road (along with Scott Hall), 2 Kensington Road, but is now known as 105 Seminary Drive. RESULTS OF LITERATURE CHECK As part of the evaluation, reports and historical documents located at the Northwest Information Center of the California Historic Resources Information System and on file with Archaeological Resource Service pertaining to this area of San Anselmo were consulted. We also inspected documents on file at the library at the San Francisco Theological Seminary, the book San Francisco Theological Seminary: The Shaping of a Western School of the Church , the book The San Anselmo Story, leaflets produced by Seminary Librarian and Professors about the buildings on the campus, and consulted the previous archaeological and historical evaluations of the SFTS (GANDA 2009, Carey and Company 2010). Historic Background The Seminary has a rich history with noted theologians and events. This has been dealt with in a Book titled the San Francisco Theological Seminary: The Shaping of a Western School of the Church , by Robert B. Coote and William S. Hadsell. The purpose of this document is to focus on the architectural history, as well as acknowledging that these other events can relate to the importance of structure. However, retelling the extensive history has been done by Coote and Hadsell, and will not be undertaken substantially here. The following is a brief discussion of the historic building phases. The project area is located on a property belonging to the San Francisco Theological Seminary, an institution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The San Anselmo campus of the Seminary was founded in Prior to the Seminary moving to this location, this property had been a portion of the Sunnyside Ranch, with three farmhouses and several barns in the area now known as Bouick field, and where the playhouse and Baird Hall are situated. Montgomery and Scott Halls were dedicated in September 1892 and the Presbyterians moved their seminary from San Francisco to this property in San Anselmo, donated by A. W. Foster of San Rafael. Alexander Montgomery donated money for buildings to house the students, faculty, and the school's library. The three Richardson Romanesque stone structures on the Seminary property were designed by architects Wright and Sanders and the construction was carried out by William Barr. Three Victorian style houses were built at that time for the faculty. These were also designed by Wright and Sanders. A barn from the previous ranch was transformed into a gymnasium at the time, but was later removed. Six more houses were slowly added over the next two decades. The area surrounding the Seminary, the Sunnyside tract, was also developed with single family homes, and the general population of San 6 Page 20

7 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Anselmo not associated with the Seminary increased. After the earthquake of 1906, many people opted to live outside the city of San Francisco, and the population across Marin rose dramatically. After the war, the Seminary s population grew and there was a need to expand the facility. Many new structures were added in the late 1940s and 1950s. William Penn Mot was hired in 1950 to develop an new landscape plan for the campus and advise where new structures should be placed. A new entrance with a new gateway and updated roadways were also constructed. In the 1960s through the 1980s the Seminary continued to expand by purchasing houses and apartment buildings within the adjacent neighborhood. They also built some apartment buildings near the campus but away from its core. Today, the campus has downsized and the new goal is to bring the housing back to the campus core. Many of the properties in the surrounding neighborhood have been sold, and the goal is to liquidate all of these outside assets and build new structures within the care area to provide the necessary housing. GANDA Evaluation In 2009 GANDA performed an archaeological evaluation and historic structures survey of the San Francisco Theological Seminary property. Structures greater than 50 years of age were identified by GANDA, and archaeological features consisting of a lamp base, a pile of cut stone blocks, a cistern and an incinerator were noted as archeological resources. Fourteen buildings were determined to be greater than 50 years of age, and were considered architectural resources in the GANDA report. Neither the buildings nor the archaeological features were evaluated for their potential to be listed on the California Register of Historic Resources. GANDA identified the following architectural resources within the Area of Direct Impact (ADI) as needing further evaluation: 108 Bolinas Avenue. 53 Seminary Road (P ). 47 Seminary Road (P ). 105 Mariposa Avenue. GANDA identified the following architectural resources as adjacent to the ADI: Montgomery Hall (P ). Scott Hall (P ). Geneva Hall, located at 109 Seminary Road. Montgomery Chapel (P ). 118 Bolinas Avenue (P ). 134 Bolinas Avenue (P ). 138 Bolinas Avenue (P ) 10 Kensington Court. 26 Kensington Court (P ) 18 Kensington Court (P ) Carey and Company Review The Carey and Company review of the GANDA report concurred with the research and approach, and most of the findings. However, it also raised several questions. They found that 130 Bolinas Avenue, 25 Kensington Court and 30 Kensington Road were not addressed, likely because they were not age appropriate. Carey and Company concluded that the ages of these structures needed to be confirmed. Carey and Company also called for further evaluation of three of the properties: 53 Seminary Road, 108 Bolinas Avenue and 105 Mariposa Avenue. RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS REPORTS As part of this project ARS has evaluated each building within the SFTS Campus and confirmed the ages of the structures. The two structural features identified, the cistern and the incinerator, were also evaluated for their potential historic significance. 7 Page 21

8 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 APPROACH TO A DISTRICT Archaeological Resource Service has undertaken an evaluation of the structures at the San Francisco Theological Seminary to determine the potential for a historic district. The study involved background research on the general history of the campus, the use of the buildings on and off campus, and the history of each individual building. We utilized the files at the Library of the SFTS, and the files and books at the San Anselmo Historic Society, and consulted the book San Francisco Theological Seminary: The Shaping of a Western School of the Church We contacted the administration about several specific questions about buildings and answers were provided by knowledgeable contacts. We also consulted the previously prepared historic study of the SFTS performed by GANDA. While GANDA conducted a very thorough investigation, files were checked again to substantiate information and for additional information. Additionally our scope was larger than GANDA s since we looked at other structures off campus that the SFTS owns or has owned in the past to determine if these might be part of a historic district involving the SFTS. For instance, the J.R. Little Apartments are outside the hill area designated in the proposed plan, but were constructed for SFTS, are owned by SFTS and are adjacent to the hill area. Further information about this and similar structures were consulted to determine if they might contribute to a district that involves SFTS buildings. There can be different approaches to a historic district and what criteria are set forth to determine which structures fit within the time frame, and theme. For the SFTS, we determined that a cohesive cluster of important architectural buildings existed for the time frame of 1892 to 1928, which represented the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo. More information as to how this theme and time frame were developed is discussed below. Background of building phases at SFTS Several plans for the grounds have been conceived and undertaken at the SFTS over the years. The initial development occurred in 1892 with the original construction of the two Richardson Romanesque Buildings at the top of the hill, and a few Victorian residences. Work began on Montgomery Memorial Chapel shortly afterwards (1894). Over the next two decades, more houses were added to the Seminary grounds at the base of the hill on the south side, with two faculty houses in 1909, two in 1921 and one in The gymnasium was added in 1928, in a new location but replacing an earlier gymnasium structure also built in For each of these structures, well known architects from San Francisco were hired to build suitable attractive structures at the SFTS. No construction occurred between 1928 and The next phase of construction was part of the Diamond Jubilee expansion. Fund raising for the Diamond Jubilee was begun in 1943 and the first dirt was moved in The Diamond Jubilee was a dream of a reconstructed campus. To do this they proposed to change the road, add a new entry, remodel the campus, and add several new buildings. William Penn Mott Jr. was brought in to develop master landscape plan for the campus in the 1950s. Mott determined suitable areas for the new buildings, but did not design the structures. Mott did design the new entry gate at Kensington Road and Bolinas Avenue, and proposed a rock wall along Bolinas Avenue, which never reached fruition. New structures that were added to the campus over the next decade included Hunter Hall married student housing in 1948, Landon Hall married student housing in 1949, Baird Hall 1950, Geneva Hall 1952, Alexander Hall 1953, Administration Building 1956, Oxtoby Hall 1958, and 4 faculty residences; 30 Kensington Road in 1952, 108 Bolinas Avenue in 1952, 25 Kensington Court in 1952, and 130 Bolinas Avenue in The 1940s and 1950s phase of construction seemed to happen with rapid expansion and the quick need to accommodate the expanded student body and instructors. Finding noted architects does not appear to have been a major concern of the time. While all earlier buildings were constructed by well know architects, Hunter Hall, Landon Hall, Alexander Hall 1 and Baird Hall all had the same architect, James H Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco. Mitchell is not an architect of note, and is not 1 Seminary records, including plans with names, indicate that Alexander Hall was designed by architect James Mitchell of Mitchell and Hawes. However, Barry Spitz notes that the building was designed by Warnecke (Spitz 2003:69). This structure was not designed by Warnecke, although Oxtoby Hall was. 8 Page 22

9 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 associated with any notable buildings (Pacific Coast Architecture Database). Furthermore these structures lack much in creative design and appear as concrete block buildings. The faculty houses through this period are typical split level single family houses of the time, and are rather typical of the rapid expansion of subdivisions across the country in this period. The fact that the SFTS does not have records for the architects, adds to the argument that these are not architecturally or historically important buildings. It was determined that 30 Kensington Ave. and 130 Bolinas Ave. were built by Herbert A Crocker Co. There is no information in the SFTS files as to who designed or built the other houses, although the house at 25 Kensington Court is much like the house at 30 Kensington and may well have had the same builder. However, the lack of information about the architects and the simple typical design of the structures, lead us to determine these were not designed by an architect of note, and if a well known architect did design them, these would not be one of their better examples of design. There are two exceptions to the static structures of the 1950s on the campus, Geneva Hall and Oxtoby Hall. Oxtoby Hall, built in 1958 was designed by John C. Warnecke and Associates of San Francisco and built by Bishop and Mae construction. Warnecke was a very nationally notable architect of the time, and has at least one structure on the National Register of Historic Places. He designed many campus buildings and campus plans around the country. Notable works include the Lincoln Center in New York, the Hawaiian State Capitol Building, and President John F. Kennedy s burial site. Oxtoby Hall won an award for excellence in academic architecture the year it was finished. Consequently this structure would be eligible for the California Register based on association with a famous architect and being of exceptional design for that period. Geneva Hall was built in 1952, nestled at the top of the hill near Scott Hall and Montgomery Hall. This building was designed by noted architects Winsor Soule and John F. Murphy of Santa Barbara. The design was based on the Basilica in Assisi, Italy and consists of a complex of library, classrooms, chapel and offices. This was built to be a substantial feature of the property and is an architecturally important structure. Consequently it would be eligible for the California Register based on association with a famous architect and being of exceptional design. After looking at all the structures, and assessing their individual significance and architectural style and design, it does not seem appropriate that a historic district include the 1940s and 1950s since most of the structures built during this phase of construction on the campus appear to be not historically important. Geneva and Oxtoby Halls are exceptions for historically relevant buildings. However, these structures are only two buildings out of eleven built in this period. Consequently the timeline for a historic district would not include this period. Geneva and Oxtoby Halls would instead be individually eligible, and not contributing to a historic district. Later expansions to the SFTS in the 1960s through the 1980s happened with the acquisition of existing nearby houses and apartments. A new maintenance and storage building (also known as the Seek and Find building) was constructed in 1960, and the Lloyd Counseling Center was constructed in Other housing projects were built to the west of the hill, and outside of the main campus grounds, such as the J.R. Little Student Residences in 1968 and Dobbins Student Residences in It was at this time that SFTS went through a period of dispersal of its student population throughout the surrounding residential neighborhood. They acquired houses across the street along Bolinas Avenue, built apartments across Mariposa and Ross Avenues, and purchased apartment buildings on Belle Avenue. They also purchased houses all over the surrounding neighborhood. All of these structures were visited and their dates of construction and acquisition by the SFTS were determined. These structures include 77 Bolinas, 79 Bolinas, 109 Bolinas, 300 Bolinas, 35 Waverly, 101 Ross Avenue, 108 Ross Avenue, 111 Ross Avenue, 100A, 100B and 100C Mariposa Ave, 67a Kensington Road, 28 Austin Avenue, and 19 and 21 Belle Avenue. Currently, the SFTS has a master plan to dispose of its holding outside of the Seminary core and construct new housing on premises to bring the housing back into the main campus area. Through evaluating the phases of construction on the property and the styles and significance of the standing structures, I have determined that a historic district based on the dates of 1892 to 1928, and the theme of early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo is present. This is a viable and important historic district representing well built, architecturally relevant structures directly 9 Page 23

10 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 associated with the early development of the SFTS in San Anselmo. Each building within the plan area has been evaluated as to how it would be eligible for the California Register of Historic Places both individually and as part of this proposed district. Furthermore, it was determined that the structures outside of the plan area would not contribute to a district based on early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo from 1892 to These structures were either acquired after their original construction by the SFTS (and not built by the SFTS), or built later than the time frame of the district. Contributors to a district and spatial relationship The following buildings contribute to the historic district: Montgomery Hall, 105 Seminary Road, 1892 Scott Hall, 101 Seminary Road, 1892 Faculty Home, 134 Bolinas Avenue, 1892 Guest House, 138 Bolinas Avenue, 1892 Montgomery Memorial Chapel, 5 Richmond Road, 1897 Faculty Home, 18 Kensington Court, 1895 Faculty Home, 53 Seminary Road, 1909 Trinity House, 26 Kensington Court, 1909 Faculty Home, 47 Seminary Road, 1921 Faculty Home, 118 Bolinas Avenue, 1921 Faculty Home, 10 Kensington Court, 1925 Playhouse, 27 Kensington Road, 1928 Twelve of the structures out of the twenty-two structures in the main campus area are contributors to a historic district under the parameters of early Development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary, 1892 to While a 2/3 rd majority of historic buildings within an area is a good guideline, the specific layout of this campus leaves the grouping of historic structures roughly tied close together, and the structures added post 1945 are mostly scattered at the periphery. One exception is Geneva Hall which was built in 1952 and is situated at the top of the hill near Montgomery and Scott Halls. While this structure is outside of the district guideline, it is individually eligible for the California Register of Historic Places. It is therefore seen as complimentary to the surrounding district, although not a contributor to it. Oxtoby Hall located on the backside of the hill is also seen as individually eligible and does not detract from the historic district ending in The following map shows the cluster of district eligible structures. They are well grouped and provide a cohesive district that is not damaged by the presence of non-eligible structures nearby. 10 Page 24

12 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Incinerator Cistern There are two individually eligible structures for the California Register that do not fit into the timeline established for this historic district, but at individually historic and complimentary to the historic district. These are: Geneva Hall, Classrooms, Library and Chapel, 109 Seminary Road, 1952 Oxtoby Hall, Student Residences, 125 Mariposa Avenue, 1958 DISTRICT QUALIFICATIONS It is very clear that several of the buildings are of exceptional historic importance. Scott Hall and Montgomery Hall were the first buildings constructed on the property, in Both buildings are constructed of cut stone and are Richardson Romanesque in style. Construction on Montgomery Memorial Chapel at the base of the hill began soon afterwards, in This building was not finished until It is also Richardson Romanesque and designed by the same architects that designed Scott and Montgomery Halls. The first housing within the Seminary consisted of 138 Bolinas (Montgomery House), 134 Bolinas (Alexander House) and The Thomas Day House which also sat on Bolinas Avenue, but was torn down in the mid-twentieth century. Montgomery House and Alexander House, both built in 1892, are Queen Anne Victorian style and were both designed by Wright and Saunders, who designed the main halls. The next addition to the property was in 1895 at 18 Kensington Court (Wicher House), a shingle style residence, designed by Percy and Hamilton saw the addition of two more residences, 26 Kensington Court (Landon House) and 53 Seminary Road (Moore House), both a Shingle Style houses designed by William Knowles. Two homes built in 1921 consisted of 47 Seminary Drive (White House) and 118 Bolinas Avenue (Hallenbeck House), both Shingle style structures designed by famed architect Julia Morgan. Until this point the main structures were Richardson Romanesque and the housing was Victorian or Shingle style. Most of these original structures remain, though some have undergone modifications and one house and the original gymnasium were removed. In 1925, 10 Kensington Court (Wishart House aka Rosehaven) was built in the Arts and Crafts style and was designed by B.S. Hayne. This Arts and Crafts residence incorporates elements from Shingle style and Tudor style. It is a good example of this type of structure. When the Seminary acquired the property, a barn from the Sunnyside Ranch was located behind where the houses 134 and 138 Bolinas now sit. This structure was transformed into a gymnasium in the 1890s. This gymnasium was torn down in In 1928 a new gymnasium at the north end of Bouick Field was constructed. This was located across Richmond Road (now Kensington Road). This building is Shingle style, designed by Harris Osborn. Osborn lived in San Anselmo, and designed many homes in San Anselmo, but had his architecture practice in San Francisco. Osborn was also a well know artist who painted in his leisure time. Plans for a gymnasium at this location were also submitted by Julia Morgan, but rejected. No construction occurred between 1928 and The group of structures constructed between 1892 and 1928, reveals high quality examples of several different styles of architecture from this period, with Richardson Romanesque, Queen Anne Victorians, Shingle, and Arts and Crafts structures, each by noted architects. A new phase of building began in The majority of the structures built in the 1940s and 1950s do not appear to be of the best and most well constructed forms for these years, and are rather typical of structures built at that time, without being good examples. Oxtoby Hall and Geneva Hall are exceptions to this. However, most of structures from this period are not historically significant, so we have precluded this era from a historic district. The two structures that are historically significant would be seen as individually eligible for the California Register and would be complimentary to the historic district, not deterrents. 12 Page 26

13 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 EVALUATION OF EACH STRUCTURE Twenty-five buildings and two built features were evaluated to determine if they were eligible for the California Register either individually or as contributors to a historic district. Structures have been divided into three groups, first those that appear eligible as contributors to a historic district, then those that do not appear eligible either individually or as contributors to a historic district, and finally structures that do not contribute to the historic district, but are individually eligible for the California Register. All buildings on the campus are associated with the SFTS. They are not however all associated with the early development of the campus. Many structures have had noted faculty live in them or teach within their walls, but unless a structure was built specifically for that person, it is difficult for that structure to convey such association, and consequently, most of these structures do not fit criterion 2 of the California Register, associated with important persons in California s past. District Eligible Buildings Montgomery Hall, 105 Seminary Road, 1892 This large Richardson Romanesque structure was built in 1892, designed by John Wright of Wright and Sanders Architects of San Francisco and constructed by William Barr and J. McKay of San Rafael. This building is fashioned out of hand cut stone blocks of a gray color from the quarry in the Gerstle Park area of San Rafael. Contrasting, hand cut stone blocks of a beige color, quarried in San Jose, are located around the entry, around the windows, and forming columns that border sections of the structure. This massive structure stands three stories tall and also has a subterranean basement. There are entries at the center of each side, but the main entry is on the south side. There are multiple gabled ends on both the north and south faces and single cross gables on the east and west ends. There is a large square tower at the center of the north side with a narrower, attached round tower on its northwest corner. Another tower is located on the southwest corner of the building. The towers have conical roofs and the main structure is topped with a hipped roof. The roof is covered with slate. There is a decorative flashing ridge on the roof. There are also gabled wall dormers along the north and south sides. Most of the windows on the structure have arched tops, and many are in pairs. The basement portion has small square windows at the narrow strip that sits above ground level. There are also rectangular windows and on the second story of both the east and west sides where each has a ribbon of four narrow rectangular windows in the center. Metal framed fire escape balconies and ladders have been added to the structure at the east and west ends. Metal railings have also been added at the staircases on each side. These additions have been carefully added and painted to blend with the building. They do not detract from the overall historic nature of the structure. This building is a very good example of this style of architecture and is in a magnificent setting atop the hill with another Richardson Romanesque style structure. Significance This structure is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1). This structure is associated with a well known architect, John Wright who is well known for his Richardson Romanesque style structures (Criterion 2). This structure embodies the distinctive characteristics of Richardson Romanesque architecture, represents the work of an important creative individual, and possesses high artistic value (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4).

14 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Scott Hall, 101 Seminary Road, 1892 Large Richardson Romanesque structure built in 1892, was designed by John Wright of Wright and Sanders Architects of San Francisco and constructed by William Barr and J. McKay of San Rafael. This building is fashioned out of hand cut stone blocks of a gray color from the quarry in the Gerstle Park area of San Rafael. Contrasting, hand cut stone blocks of a beige color, quarried in San Jose, are located around the entry, around the windows, and forming columns that border sections of the structure. This massive structure stands two stories above a basement level and is rounded at the east end and square at the west end. The east end has a low-pitched conical roof with a very large finial. The arched windows in this portion have a decorative etched pattern. The east end has a cross-gabled roof. The entire roof is covered with slate shingles. There is a large round tower in the center of the south side that stands taller than the main portion of the structure and has a conical roof. The entry is a decorative extended facade with a gabled top over a large arched opening set on the south side of this tower. There is a square tower on the north side of the structure at the center of the structure. Most of the windows are arched or are part of a cluster with an arched top, but there are narrow rectangular windows in the top o the gable ends and in the top of the towers. This building is a very good example of this style of architecture and is in a magnificent setting atop the hill with another Richardson Romanesque style structure.

Faculty Home, 134 Bolinas Avenue, 1892 This two story Queen Anne Victorian was one of the first residences on the property and was constructed at the same time as the Richardson Romanesque halls at the top of the hill. There was a second residence of this same architectural design built at the same time that was previously located at 108 Bolinas Avenue. However, that house was removed around 1950 and a new house was constructed in This structure was designed by Wright and Saunders of San Francisco and built by Barr and McKay. This structure was built to house William Alexander (California Professor of Church History), and was first referred to as Alexander House, and later known as Wishart House. The house was also used as the women s dormitories from 1938 to It was then converted back into a single family house for professors, which it is to this day. The house has multiple rooflines and an irregular shaped footprint. There is a 2/3 length front porch that wraps around the east side and extends for half the length of the east side of the house. The house has a square corner at this point, but the porch and porch roof are rounded. There is an octagonal shaped tower portion at the southwest corner. The front entry is in the center of the south side of the structure, and a forward projection of the front porch is in front of this with a gabled, pedimented roof. On the second story at this location there is a small cross gable section that also has a pediment. The house is clad in narrow painted wood clapboards on the first floor and painted shingles on the second. There are decoratively placed square shingles inside the pediments. There is decorative molding 14 Page 28

Windows are double hung elements, for the most part, and many have four divided panes in the upper sash and a single undivided pane in the lower sash. There are several awning windows on the first story. The foundation is brick. There are two brick chimneys inside the house. One exits the roof in the center of the western portion of the house and the other in the center of the eastern portion of the house. This structure is a good example of a Queen Anne Victorian, and is one of the first houses built on the campus.

Guest House, 138 Bolinas Avenue, 1892 This two and a half story Queen Anne Victorian was one of the first residences on the property and was constructed at the same time as the Richardson Romanesque halls at the top of the hill. This structure was designed by Wright and Saunders of San Francisco and built by Barr and McKay. This structure was built to house Robert Mackenzie as stipulated by Alexander Montgomery who donated the money to build the initial structures at the campus. The house was first referred to as Montgomery House, and is now known as the Shaw House. The house also was used as the women s dormitories from 1921 to 1928, and from 1931 to It was the Administrative offices from 1940 to 1952, and then it was then converted back into a single-family house for professors. It has been used as the school s guesthouse since The house has multiple rooflines and an irregular shaped footprint. There are towers, cross gables, and the west end of the house is rounded. A narrow tower on the front extends beyond the main roofline, and this portion has a hipped roof. There is a full-length, covered front porch, with an addition porch portion that extends outward under an extended gable. The house is clad in narrow wood clapboards on the first floor and painted shingles on the second. The rounded section on the east side is clad with vertically placed narrow clapboards on the first story. There are decoratively placed, offset square shingles in the gable ends, and decorative molding detail at the cornices. Windows are double hung elements that have bold surrounds. The foundation of the structure is brick. There is a small one story shed roof addition on the rear of the structure as well as a wheelchair ramp. The addition is clad with the same siding as the rest of the first story, and has a cement foundation. The addition and the ramp do not detract from the historic nature of the structure. This structure is a good example of a Queen Anne Victorian, and is one of the first houses built on the campus.

Montgomery Memorial Chapel, 5 Richmond Road, 1897 This is a short but substantial Richardson Romanesque style chapel and hall for which construction began in It was finished and dedicated in It was designed by John Wright of Wright and Sanders Architects of San Francisco and constructed by William Barr and J. McKay of San Rafael. This building is fashioned out of hand cut stone blocks of a gray color from the quarry in the Gerstle Park area of San Rafael. Contrasting, hand cut stone blocks of a beige color, quarried in San Jose, are located around the entry, around the windows, and forming columns that border sections of the structure. The building is one story with the main portion being circular. The main portion is a circular form with tall arched stained glass windows with Masonic and Old Testament imagery. There is a finial on the conical roof of this portion of the structure. The rotunda is shorter than the main portion and consists of a 2/3rds circle attached to the west end of the structure. This portion has a low-sloped conical roof, which attaches to the main roof. There is a square tower section on the south side between the corner of the main chapel and the rotunda, which sits lower than either portion and has a hipped roof. There is a round tower on the southeast edge of the structure, which is taller than the rest of the chapel. The upper portion of this tower houses several bells and is open, surrounded by short, Corinthian columns with arched openings. At the cardinal points the columns are grouped in sets of three. The finial on the tower is a round rendition of the Borromean rings, as a symbol of the Christian Trinity. The tower base, or crypt alcove, houses the remains of Alexander Montgomery. A side gabled colonnaded walkway stretches along the front (east side to the chapel) to the hall at the north. The colonnade roof is steeply pitched and runs from the southeast tower to the wall of the hall. The arches are horseshoe in shape and the columns are Corinthian in design. The hall portion is known as Montague Hall, and is front gabled and of the same stone and styling as the chapel, except it has rectangular window openings. The Chapel and Hall consist of one structure with two separated interior areas attached by the colonnaded walkway. Alexander Montgomery died in 1893, and his will stipulated that a mausoleum should be built. The executors of the will decided that this mausoleum should be a portion of a chapel built on the SFTS campus. The chapel took much longer to build than the structures at the top of the hill, as funding from Montgomery s estate was often tied up in probate. In 1893, Montgomery s remains were interred at Laurel Hill Cemetery in San Francisco. After the chapel was completed in 1897, his remains were transferred to the vault in the chapel. This is a spectacular structure both for its Richardson Romanesque features and the unique Masonic symbols that were incorporated. It was conceived as a chapel, but also as a mausoleum for Alexander Montgomery, who donated the money not only for this structure but also for the first five structures built at this Seminary. The local Presbyterian, Greek Orthodox Church, and Jewish communities have used this chapel. This structure is listed as American Presbyterian and Reformed Historical Site No. 381 (Registered by the Presbyterian Historical Society). Significance This structure is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1).

Scott Hall is eligible for the California Register both individually and as a contributor to a historic district as it meets Criterion 1, 2 and 3 of the California Register. Faculty Home, 18 Kensington Court, 1895 George W. Percy and Frederick F. Hamilton of San Francisco designed this house and the contractor was B. F. Ellis of Berkeley. It was built in 1895 and was the first addition to the SFTS property after the initial structures. It is a Shingle style, two and a half story structure, with a front gable on hipped roof. It has a full-length front porch, which has a solid lower wall, and evenly spaced round columns that sit on the low wall and support the porch roof. The exterior is completely covered with natural toned shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. The full-length front porch wraps around the southeast corner and extends for half of the east side of the structure. There is a centered front door on the west side. The front cross gable is on the south side of the front of the house, and of this portion the southern half of the upper floor portion is recessed. Inside the gable end is a wide window that is fairly recessed, and the sides of the recessed portion are rounded. There is also a window in the upper portion of the gable that is recessed and has rounded sides as well. There are two types of window, plain double hung elements, and wider double hung elements with a two part divided pane in the upper sash. There is a brick chimney that sticks out of the center of the southern half of the roof. This structure has a detached garage at the rear this is a small front gabled structure with two separate tilt-up garage doors. The doors have a solid painted finish, and the rest of the structure is clad with shingles similar to those on the house. The garage shows on the 1924 quad but not on the 1909 or 1919 quad. It is therefore a later addition to the property, and likely altered to be a two-car garage at a later date. This garage is not of significant design, and is rather utilitarian, but clad with shingles to match the house. Significance The house known as 18 Kensington Court is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1). This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). This structure embodies the distinctive characteristics of Shingle style architecture (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). The house known as 18 Kensington Court is eligible for the California Register both individually and as a contributor to a historic district as it meets Criterion 1 and 3 of the California Register. Faculty Home, 53 Seminary Road, 1909 The house is a Shingle style structure built in William Knowles of San Francisco designed the house and the construction was carried out by Mr. Field. The house located at 26 Kensington Court was built at the same time, designed by the same architect and constructed by the same builder. This house is a two story structure with a half basement and unfinished attic. It has a side gable on hip roof, and is a rather rectangular structure with a small polygonal, gabled dormer on the west side, and shingled walls that are uninterrupted at the corners. Windows are not symmetrically placed and most windows are double hung. There is an external brick chimney on the west side. There is a half porch on the front (south side). At the western end of the porch there is a partially enclosed staircase that leads to the second story. This partially enclosed area is also clad with the same shingles on the south, west, and second story portion of the east side. The north side is flush with the building and the east side is open on the first story except for a three-foot wide strip on the north portion where there is a closet. This portion looks like an addition, but it shows up in the older photographs and 17 Page 31

18 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 both the 1919 Sanborn map, so it is likely original or a very early addition completed within the first ten years after construction The main entry is on the first level, and is central between the ends of the structure. The 2/3 porch area on the front previously had a pergola over the entire porch, which was removed post The north side (back) of the house has a small outward extension of a breakfast nook in the center that leads to the back patio. This bump-out is only present on the first floor, and it has a shed roof. This is part of the original construction and shows on the 1919 Sanborn Map. It is notable that the building went through several periods of alterations. The house was vacant (and likely renovated) between 1926 and 1928 when it was changed from being a single-family residence to a women s dormitory. Again between 1955 and 1957 the house was renovated and converted into two separated residences, the upper floor and the first floor. It was later changed back into a single-family residence. An elevator was added, likely in the 1920s or 1930s when the house was converted into a women s dormitory. The elevator is inside the building but the shaft area was attached to the exterior at the northwestern corner. The author previously evaluated this house in 2009 (Chattan 2009). Because of alterations and this not being a great example of Shingle Style, the house was determined ineligible for the California Register as an individual listing, but it did have enough integrity and style that it would likely be a contributor to a historic district (Chattan 2009). Significance The house known as 53 Seminary Road is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1). This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). This structure has elements that are distinctive of the Shingle style, but it is not a great example of Shingle style and has undergone several modifications. It therefore contributes to a historic district with other structures from the same era. It does not embody the distinctive characteristics of Shingle style architecture (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). The house known as 53 Seminary Road is eligible for the California Register as a contributor to a historic district as it meets Criterion 1 of the California Register. It is not individually eligible for the California Register. Trinity House, 26 Kensington Court, 1909 The house is a Shingle style structure built in William Knowles of San Francisco designed the house and Mr. Field carried out the construction. The house located at 53 Seminary Drive was built at the same time, designed by the same architect, and constructed by the same builder. This house has been known as Landon House, for William Landon, the first resident who lived here from 1909 to Gurdon Oxtoby then moved into this house and occupied it from 1929 to In 1939 Oxtoby s mother, Ida Oxtoby paid for an addition and annex to the structure to be built. She then lived in the annex, with an address of 24 Kensington Ct until she died in the 1950s. It is now known as Trinity House and used as student residences. The Shingle style house is a two story, hipped roof residence with a recessed covered front entry and no porch. It has a tower portion on the north end of the front, and the first story of the tower has an extended bay with windows on it. The rest front is otherwise rather flat. The house is clad in natural toned shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. Windows are double hung elements without divided panes (although these appear to have been replaced). The front of the house still looks much the same as when originally built, but there have been additions. There is a one story addition on the south side which is flush with the front of the house. The annex, with a separate address, is located on the southeast corner of the main house and addition. This is also just 18 Page 32

19 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 one story tall but has multiple hipped roof lines. Both additions are clad with natural toned shingles and have the same double hung windows that are on the main portion of the house. Significance The house known as 26 Kensington Court is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1). This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). This structure embodies the distinctive characteristics of Shingle style architecture. There have been additions to the structure, but the main features of the style and the original layout and massing are apparent on the front (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). The house known as 26 Kensington Court is eligible for the California Register both individually and as a contributor to a historic district as it meets Criterion 1 and 3 of the California Register. Faculty Home, 47 Seminary Road, 1921 This Shingle style residence was designed by Julia Morgan and built in William H. Dwyer constructed it. It is a massive three-story Shingle style house with the entry on the second story. The house is clad with natural toned wood shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. The house is side gabled with a large cross gable section on the third story only at the center. This extends over the entry and is supported by two large decorative brackets. The entry is reached by a large staircase on the left side of the front that accesses the center of the 2/3rds length front porch. The side of the stairway is clad in a wall of shingles at the base and a short slatted railing on the upper porch. This appears along the staircase and the edge of the porch. A strip of trim between the second and third floor simulates an overhang. Most of the windows on the front are set in a ribbon of three with a large undivided central pane flanked by narrow casement windows with divided panes. These are rectangular for the most part, but the element in the center of the front cross gable is arched in the center pane. The upper story has some smaller sets of windows that consist of two divided pane casements. There are single double hung elements on the sides of the structure. There is a brick chimney attached to the exterior of the house at the center of the west side. The rear of the house is on the north side. On this side the house is set slightly into the hill, and the back yard is reached through the second story. This portion has a two story cross gable built in the center portion, which is original to this side. As is evident from the Sanborn map of 1924, this structure had a covered porch at the east end of this side. However, a shed roof addition has been added across the rear at either side of the cross gable. A small portion at the far, east end has an extended shed portion. There is also a wheelchair lift added to the east side of the front porch. These additions are clad with the same shingles as the rest of the house and do not detract from the overall historic design or layout The house is a good example of the Shingle style and was designed by a famous architect. Fifty feet to the west of the house is a small single car garage. This garage was built at the same time as the house, but well away from the house structure, and evidently hidden from the initial view of the house. The garage is roughly 12 feet by 12 feet and has a single roll up garage door on the south side. The original door is a barn type door on the west side. The garage has a hipped roof and there are decorative rafters along the eves. The exterior is clad with natural toned wood shingles, like the house, but unlike the house the structure has corner boards. There is also a single door on the east side of this structure. While built at the same time as the main house, this garage seems to have been situated so that it would not detract from the main house, and located at a suitable distance. It is located up against the fence of the adjacent house (18 Kensington Ct.), and appears it was intended to be mostly hidden from the front view of the house. It has been modified with an electric rollup front door, and as corner boards are not usually included in shingle style structures, these are likely a later addition. This garage is associated with the 19 Page 33

Faculty Home, 118 Bolinas Avenue, 1921 This Shingle style house was designed by Julia Morgan and build to flank the original entry, which passed between this house and 130 Bolinas. Today this area is just a walkway to other portions of the SFTS grounds. This house faces the old entry and not Bolinas Avenue, so the entry and decorative front of the house is on the west side. This is a two-story, side gabled structure with a slight, decorative, cross gable over the center front entry, and at the rear of the house in the mirror location. The house is covered with shingles in their natural tone, with uninterrupted corners. The entry is slightly recessed, and the centered, single, wood front door is flanked on either side by a pair of leadlight windows. There is also a five part frame on the exterior portion of the entry. The roof has a slight overhang, and there is a slight flair at the base of the second floor over the first story. The windows are double hung on most of the house, excepting three sets of casement windows on the second floor in the cross gable over the entry. Each of these has a planter box below and faux shutters on the sides. The rest of the windows on the house do not have the shutters. The first floor has sets of a ribbon of three double hung window elements on each end. A brick fireplace is on the center of the south side and another brick chimney is located in near the roof peak within the northern portion of the house. On the rear of the house there is a one-story shed roof section that runs along 2/3 of the rear at the north portion and wraps around the north side for a little less than half of this side of the house. Overall this house retains original design elements and architectural integrity. It is designed by noted architect Julia Morgan and is a good example of her work. It is an embellished Shingle style house with storybook elements. It would be eligible for the California Register both individually and as part of a district. There is a small garage located to the northeast of the house. This is a small front gabled two-car garage with a tilt-up garage door on the west side. It has a concrete slab foundation, lapped narrow clapboards as siding and wide, dog toothed boards set vertically in the gable end. The construction style of this structure is indicative of the 1950s. The garage is not shown on the 1924 quad, as other garages are, and it is evidently a later addition to the property and not contributory to the house or the surrounding district. Significance The house known as 118 Bolinas Avenue is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1).

Faculty Home, 10 Kensington Court, 1925 This house has an overall Arts and Crafts style (not Craftsman) to it with elements of Shingle and Tudor styles. It was designed by B.S. Hayne of San Francisco. It is known as Rosehaven. The building is a cross gabled structure with a bumped out portico at the interior corner for the entry. It is two stories but based on the very tall windows on portions of it, the interior has some rooms with second floor ceilings. The house is covered with shingles with uninterrupted corners. The front cross gable and a small gabled dormer on the north end of the front have half-timber decoration. There are large decorative stained glass windows on the front, and the other windows are casements with faux shutters. The main decorative window on the front consists of a set of three tall narrow elements with a clear diamond shaped panes. Above these are three more square elements each with clear diamonds and a centered red diamond. The windows stretch two stories tall. There are two brick fireplaces on the exterior. One is on the south side between the cross gables and the other is centered in the gable at the north side. This structure retains its original appearance, and has unique qualities. While it has elements of Shingle style, the decorative windows, half timbering and decorative entry are not elements of the Shingle style. This house is a more unique style structure using elements from several styles in the Arts and Crafts approach. It has been well executed and this structure is eligible for the California Register both individually and as a contributor to a district.

Playhouse, 27 Kensington Road, 1928 Harris Osborn, a local San Anselmo resident, designed this Shingle style, front gabled structure that was finished in It is two stories high but is one open floor for most of the interior. The building is clad with shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. The front entry has a small center porch with a short shed roof overhang and a set of double doors. There is a large circular window in the gable end, which has crossed beams. Though circular, this window consists of divided square panes. There is a set of tall rectangular window openings centered between the entry and the building edge to each side. Each window contains eight awning windows, each of which is divided in four panes. The east side has four of these large elements evenly spaced across this side. There are evenly spaced brackets along the cornice. The rear of the building (north side), is much the same as the entry side, with the same decorative details including the large round window, but there is only a small single door exit. There is a one-story flat roof addition on the west side that takes up approximately half of the center portion of the building. The addition has the same shingles as the main structure, but the windows are smaller and more randomly placed. There has also been some shingle replacement on this side, with shingles of a different size. It appears that the original window configuration on this side was the same as the east side, but the window panes have been replaced, and one of the windows has been patched over. 21 Page 35

22 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 When originally constructed, there were low sloping ramps to the entry that were later changed to a single set of stairs. Otherwise the front has maintained the same appearance as the original construction. The structure was built as a gymnasium for the Seminary and was turned into a theater in More improvements were made to it in the 1970s. It is likely that the addition to the exterior was accomplished within this time period. While there are alterations to the east side, the original design is clearly evident on the other three sides, and from the front is truly representative of its original design and character. This structure would be eligible as a contributor to a historic district. Significance The Playhouse is associated with the early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus in San Anselmo, which is an event that has made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage (Criterion 1). This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). This structure embodies the distinctive characteristics of Shingle style architecture and possesses high artistic value (Criterion 3). It has been somewhat compromised on the west side with a poorly conceived addition, but the original sense of layout and design is apparent from the front. This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). The Playhouse is eligible for the California Register both individually and as a contributor to a historic district as it meets Criterion 1 and 3 of the California Register. Non-contributors to the Historic district Hunter Hall, 25 Richmond Road, 1948 Hunter Hall was designed by James H. Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco and was constructed in 1948 as the married student housing. It is a 21-unit apartment building. The building is a large rectangular, three story, concrete block structure with minimal design elements. The building is flat across the front with a recessed entry. There is also a small entry courtyard. This entry courtyard is between straight flat walls that extend from the sides of the entryway, and there is a beam overhead at the opening to the sidewalk. A set of two Corinthian columns is in the center supporting the beam. Over the open first floor entry there are two panels of cutouts to allow air into the partially open stairwell. These cutouts are on the second and third floors and are of a somewhat Art Deco style. There are square panels of a similar design on either side of the entry on each floor, outside the alcove. This detail around the entry is the only decorative design on the structure. The remainder of the building of is plain concrete, with regularly placed window openings. The first set of windows on either side of the entry and the last set of windows on each end of the front consist of a single double hung element. In between there are two sets on each floor of rectangular openings each with three double hung windows. Windows all have wood sashes. The sides and the backside of the structure are also very plain. There are two recessed sections on the backside where there are short balconies and to the lateral side of each of these recessed portions there are short extended balconies at each level. The balconies are low concrete walls. There is no further decorative detail on the backside. The roof is hipped across the front with three cross hips extending to the rear. The structure is a very basic functional building and while there are some design elements added in panels at the front, this is not an Art Deco style building. It is rather a plain, Modernistic, utilitarian structure, with a small bit of design element added. This is not built by a well-known architect and is not of exceptional architectural design. It is also a later addition and does not fall within the District s period of significance. This structure is not individually eligible for the California Register or eligible as a contributor to an historic district. Significance Hunter Hall is associated with the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus, but is not associated with its early development. The later development of the campus is not seen as making a significant 22 Page 36

Hunter Hall is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to a historic district as it does not meet any of the Criteria of the California Register. Landon Hall, 33 Richmond Road, 1949 During the construction of Hunter Hall, it became evident to the administration that the new structure was not adequate to address all the additional housing needs. They took the same designs used for Hunter Hall and built its twin adjacent to the north. Landon Hall was designed by James H. Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco and was constructed in 1949 as additional married student housing. It is a 21 unit apartment building. The building is a large rectangular, three story, concrete block structure with minimal design elements. The building is flat across the front with a recessed entry. There is also a small entry courtyard. This entry courtyard is between straight flat walls that extend from the sides of the entryway, and there is a beam overhead at the opening to the sidewalk. A set of two Corinthian columns is in the center supporting the beam. Over the open first floor entry there are two panels of cutouts to allow air into the partially open stairwell. These cutouts are on the second and third floors and are of a somewhat Art Deco style. There are square panels of a similar design on either side of the entry on each floor, outside the alcove. This detail around the entry is the only decorative design on the structure. The remainder the building consists of plain concrete, with regularly placed window openings. The first set of windows on either side of the entry and the last set of windows on each end of the front consist of a single double hung element. In between there are two sets on each floor of rectangular openings each with three double hung windows. Windows originally had wood sashes, but Landon hall is currently being refurbished and new vinyl sashed windows are replacing the aluminum framed elements. The sides and the backside of the structure are also very plain. There are two recessed sections on the backside where there are short balconies and to the lateral side of each of these recessed portions there are short extended balconies at each level. The balconies are low concrete walls. There is no further decorative detail on the backside. The roof is hipped across the front with three cross hips extending to the rear. The structure is a very basic functional building and of the exact same design as Hunter Hall. It is rather a plain, Modernistic, utilitarian structure, with a small bit of Art Deco design element added. This is not built by a well-known architect and is not of exceptional architectural design. It is also constructed later than period proposed for the historic district that is proposed. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to an historic district.

Baird Hall, 30 Waverly Road, 1950 Baird Hall is a concrete walled structure that is laid out around an open central courtyard, and has portions that are one story while other portions are two stories. The building is situated on the north end of what was Bouick field between Waverly Road and Kensington Road. This structure was built in 1950 as the woman s dormitory, and was named for Susanna Baird, who founded the SFTS Auxiliary and chaired the campaign to raise funds for the women s dormitory. It was designed by James H. Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco, who also designed Landon Hall, Hunter Hall and Alexander Hall on this campus. The building is of the International style, consisting of two sections, the front (south side) is a Z-shaped one-story portion and the rear (north side) is a two-story Z shaped portion. These are attached to one another forming the central courtyard. The front portion has meeting rooms, and the rear portion has dorm rooms. The roofs are all hipped. The main entry is at the south end, through the single story section. This has a multi-tiered roofline with flat front walls with a large aluminum framed windows and a large recessed entryway. The entire building has smooth undecorated wall surfaces, with no decorative detailing at the doors or windows and the windows are placed flush with the outer walls. Windows are large, substantial features at the front. On the rest, they are evenly spaced, average sized, aluminum framed side sliders. The two story section is very plain, without variation in windows and no decorative details. The front of the building gets its style from the large window elements, and recessed entry and brick stepped patio that leads to the entry, but being of the International style, the building has no further decoration. It is mostly camouflaged by the surrounding bushes and trees, and appears to blend into the landscape. This structure is not a good example of this type of architecture, and instead is rather average. It was not built by a well-known architect, and is just 61 years old. It does not fit within the District s period of significance. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to a district.

Faculty Home, 108 Bolinas Avenue, 1952 This is the previous location of the Thomas Day house, which was a Victorian Style house that was removed from the property in The existing house was then constructed and finished in 1952 This split-level house was built in 1952 and is oriented to the east, away from Bolinas Avenue. The house at 130 Bolinas Avenue (built in 1954) appears to have been constructed with the same floor plan used for this structure. However, this house has a second story dormer located over the garage that is not present 24 Page 38

25 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 on the structure at 130 Bolinas Avenue. Otherwise the structures have the same layout. The Seminary does not have records for who designed or constructed this structure, but the builder may have been Herbert A. Crocker Co., who built 30 Kensington Ave. and 130 Bolinas Ave. during the same time period. The Seminary is also lacking records for the architect of the other three houses built around the same time. The garage faces the street and is a single story hipped roof portion that is attached to the main two-story hipped roof house. There is a cross hipped section that is centered over the garage, on the second floor. This is half the width of the house, and sits over the center of the garage roof. The garage and part of the roof of the main portion is all that is seen from the street. There is a rollup single car garage door on the south side of the garage and a single window on the east side of the garage section. The main entrance is in the center on the east side, and is accessed by a walkway. The entry is slightly pushed out from the main wall, and there is a hipped roof just over the entry area. There are evenly spaced windows to either side of the door, and similar windows in matching locations on the second floor. These windows are three part elements with vinyl frames, a central fixed pane and two side casements. There is also a single fixed pane window on the upper floor above the entry. The rest of the house has narrow, vinyl framed, two-part, side sliding windows. The original aluminum framed elements have all been replaced. The entire house is clad with stucco, but there is a faux brick, three foot tall, border that surrounds the house at the base. There is a wide stucco sided chimney in the center of the north side of the house. The roof is clad with flat tiles. The house is a very basic, typical example of houses of its type built in the 1950s across the United States. Houses such as this are abundant and are not considered historical resources. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to an historic district.

Faculty Home, 25 Kensington Court, 1952 This is a Split Level structure that consists of three parts in an L shaped layout. The house has a stucco exterior and vinyl framed windows throughout. The original windows were likely aluminum sashed, and replaced at a later time. The northwestern portion is square in footprint, two stories tall, and has a hipped roof. To the east of that section is a two-story section set slightly lower than the western section. This has a half hipped roof that intersects the wall of the western portion. It appears to have had a garage on the lower level, but that was later converted to living area, and the location of the garage door has French doors and windows. There is a slight overhang over the windows and door. To the south of the northwestern portion is a single story section that is situated on a slight hill. This section is flush with the first floor of the northwestern section, but between the two levels of the eastern section. The entry is through this section and reached by a walkway from the street. The half hipped roof of this section intersects the wall of the northwestern portion. Walls of each section seamlessly mesh on the north side and west side. 25 Page 39

Faculty Home, 30 Kensington Road, 1952 This Split Level style home fronts Kensington Road across from Lloyd Hall, is adjacent to the south of Alexander Hall, and behind 25 Kensington Court. This is composed of two sections, as Split Level structures usually are. The northern portion is a two-story square element with a hipped roof, clad in horizontally placed wide boards on the lower level and vertical siding on the upper level. The windows are all vinyl-sashed elements which likely replaced earlier aluminum framed elements that would have been used during the time period in which this was originally constructed. There is a wood framed open carport on the north side of this section. The second section is on the south side and positioned into a small hill, and situated between the two levels on the north section. The entry is on the west side of this portion and is reached through a stairway from the driveway. The single story portion is clad with the horizontal boards that appear on the lower level of the two story portion. This section also has a hipped roof that intersects with the wall and lower portion of the roof of the north section. The entire roof is clad with composite shingles.

27 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 This is a large, three-story glass and concrete structure. The building was constructed to be a kitchen, dining room and common area for the campus. The building is square on the north, east, and west sides, with an outward angle along the south side from the southwest corner to the southeast corner. There is also an outward jog in the structure in the middle of this side so it looks to be two separate sections. The front is on the south side, which is the angled section. The front is a wall of windows and glass doors. The windows are held by aluminum frames. The rear and sides are flat concrete elements. The front walls are recessed from sides and roof. There is a metal balcony with metal railings along the third story across the front. A two story shed roof section is on the rear (north side) of the eastern portion. This is the kitchen area, and although attached to the rest of the structure has an address of 40 Kensington Road. This section has plain cement sides, with just one window opening on the second floor on the west side, and a single door on the first floor on the west side. There is just one ribbon of three windows, a fire exit with a metal door, and concrete stairs with a metal railing on the second story. This structure is International in style with all the concrete and glass, but is rather plain and appears as just a wall of windows. This would not be considered a high quality example of International architecture.

Administration Building, 2 Kensington Road, 1956 This building was constructed as administrative offices for the Seminary. The administration has since moved into Montgomery Hall. This Ranch style, L-shaped structure is sided with a brick veneer and has many windows giving the appearance of brick and glass walls. It measures approximately 118 feet long and 50 feet wide with a cross gable at the south side extending another 40 feet and 50 feet wide. This structure has a long, low-pitched hipped roof. There are ribbons of aluminum-framed windows on all sides of the building. The upper two thirds of the wall are mostly glass, and the bottom third is brick. The windows are in sets of over-under awning elements, located around the entire structure. There are rare breaks in the window segments where it is floor to ceiling brick, such as near the doors, at the corners, and at an occasional section in the middles of the walls.

The building was constructed in 1960, as verified through the files at the SFTS library. It is a basic utilitarian structure. With some rafter detail and lots of fixed pane windows. 28 Page 42

29 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 There is a single door and a double hung window on the west side, and what was a fixed pane window opening that is covered with plywood at this time. The south side faces into the hillside, but has a ribbon of six rectangular fixed pane windows along the upper portion of this wall, near the center of the wall. There is a single car sized roll up door and a single standard entry door on the east side. The north side faces the street, but there are bushes along the front the block access to this side of the structure. There are two sections of windows on this side of the structure. Along the western half is a ribbon of six window sections, that each were three window sections high. The lowest set of these windows has been replaced with wood and painted. The upper two rows are still fixed pane glass. On the eastern half there is a centered portion that looks as though it may have been a roll-up door in the past. This section is filled with horizontally placed wood clapboards, whereas the rest of the structure has concrete walls. The upper portion of this section has a ribbon of three fixed rectangular panes.

This structure has not yielded and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). The incinerator is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to a historic district as it does not meet any of the Criteria of the California Register. Structures Individually eligible for the California Register, but not contributors to the Historic District Geneva Hall, 109 Seminary Road, 1952 Geneva Hall was built in 1952, nestled at the top of the hill near Scott Hall and Montgomery Hall. This building was designed by noted architects Winsor Soule and John F. Murphy of Santa Barbara. The design was based on the Basilica in Assisi, Italy, and consists of a complex of library, classrooms, chapel and offices. Soule was noted for his Spanish and Mission style designs. Consequently, Geneva Hall has Romanesque and Mediterranean qualities. This is complimentary to the Romanesque features that are evident in the Richardson Romanesque structures nearby. It has sprawling sections, multiple rooflines, a colonnade across the south side, a four-story tower with the Dollar Bells inside, and ledges on some of the upper levels. The walls are poured concrete with decorative horizontal ridges on most of the structure. Some sections are smooth, and further details are at the arches and on the tower portion. There are stained glass windows on the chapel portion and decorative arched windows are located on the tower and portions of the second story on the south (front) side. The rest of the structure has double hung windows with divided panes in the upper section, and a single pane in the lower sash. The structure is built into the hillside, so the terrace and main entry is actually at the second level. The first level can be seen from the east and north sides. The gable ends of the structure have arched windows in the end of the gable, and each gable end, similar to the treatment of the Gable ends on the adjacent structures. This building was designed to be a substantial feature of the property and is an architecturally important structure. Consequently it would be eligible for the California Register based on association with a famous architect and being of exceptional design. It is individually eligible for the California Register. It is not eligible as a contributor to a historic district as most of the other structures from this same period are not of historic importance. Significance 31 Page 45

The later development of the campus is not seen as making a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural. This structure does not meet this criterion (Criterion 1). The architect for this structure was well known in the Santa Barbara area, but would not be seen as a person important in California's past. This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). The This structure, represents the work of an important creative individual, and possesses high artistic value (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). Geneva Hall is individually eligible for the California Register as it meets Criterion 3 of the California Register. It is not eligible as a contributor to a historic district as it is not associated with Criterion 1. Oxtoby Hall, 125 Mariposa Avenue, 1958 Oxtoby Hall was built in 1958 was designed by John C. Warnecke and Associates of San Francisco and constructed by Bishop and Mattei. Warnecke was a very nationally notable architect of the time, and has at least one structure on the National Register of Historic Places. He designed many campus buildings and campus plans around the country. Notable works include the Lincoln Center in New York, the Hawaiian State Capitol Building, and President John F. Kennedy s burial site. Oxtoby Hall won the School Executive Competition award for outstanding design for new residence hall in It was stated that the architect found a unique solution to a difficult site problem. The tall long and narrow Mid-century Modern style building was designed with flexible room arrangements where the rooms can easily be converted from single to married student housing. When first constructed, the building provided twenty-eight single apartments and eight married apartments. It is a four-story structure situated into the northern hillside of the property, and the base level is about a story up from the street level. There is parking along the front at the street level, but this is not covered, or part of the structure. The building is made of a reinforced concrete frame, cantilevered beams, open concrete stairs, and large glass windows. Each room is floor to ceiling windows on the north side and divided from the next by a narrow concrete strip. There are concrete walkways with metal railings along the entire north side on the upper three levels. The south side of the structure has the same balconies. The lowest level is an open sided concrete slab floor. There are bow shaped columns that support the second floor balcony along the level floor on the north side, and the south side of this level is set into the hillside. This structure was the seventh addition to the campus within ten years. This structure is individually eligible for the California Register because, it was designed by a famous architect and is exceptional design for that period. It is not eligible as a contributor to a historic district as most of the other structures from this same period are not of historic importance. Significance Oxtoby Hall is associated with the San Francisco Theological Seminary campus, but is not associated with its early development. The later development of the campus is not seen as making a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural. This structure does not meet this criterion (Criterion 1). The architect, John C. Warnecke, is a nationally known architect, but is not considered a person important in California's past. This structure is not associated with the lives of persons important in California's past (Criterion 2). This structure won an award for an outstanding design for new residence hall in 1958, cementing its architectural importance. This structure, represents the work of an important creative individual, and possesses high artistic value (Criterion 3). This structure has not yield and is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history (Criterion 4). 32 Page 46

33 An Historic Structures Evaluation of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, Marin County, California May 2011 Oxtoby Hall is individually eligible for the California Register as it meets Criterion 3 of the California Register. It is not eligible as a contributor to a historic district as it is not associated with Criterion 1. CONCLUSIONS The San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo campus was evaluated to determine if an historic district exists. Twenty-five buildings and two built features were evaluated. The property contains a cluster of twelve historic structures built between 1892 and 1928, which represent a cohesive group with architectural integrity that are eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources as an historic district. The proposed district is defined as early development of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo from 1892 to Thirteen buildings and two built features were determined not to contribute to the historic district. Most of these were built between 1946 and There are not enough buildings of historic importance within this time period to consider any of these structures contributors to an historic district. However, two structures from this period have been found to be individually eligible for the California Register. Oxtoby Hall, built in 1958 and Geneva Hall built in 1952, are each individually eligible for the California Register and are complimentary to the historic district, while still not contributors. 33 Page 47

Description: This large Richardson Romanesque structure was built in This building is fashioned out of hand cut stone blocks of a gray color from the quarry in the Gerstle Park area of San Rafael. Contrasting, hand cut stone blocks of a beige color, quarried in San Jose, are located around the entry, around the windows, and forming columns that border sections of the structure. This massive structure stands three stories tall and also has a subterranean basement. There are entries at the center of each side, but the main entry is on the south side. There are multiple gabled ends on both the north and south faces and single cross gables on the east and west ends. There is a large square tower at the center of the north side with a narrower, attached round tower on its northwest corner. Another tower is located on the southwest corner of the building. The towers have conical roofs and the main structure is topped with a hipped roof. The roof is covered with slate. There is a decorative flashing ridge on the roof. There are also gabled wall dormers along the north and south sides. Most of the windows on the structure have arched tops, and many are in pairs. The basement portion has small square windows at the narrow strip that sits above ground level. There are also rectangular windows and on the second story of both the east and west sides where each has a ribbon of four narrow rectangular windows in the center. Metal framed fire escape balconies and ladders have been added to the structure at the east and west ends. Metal railings have also been added at the staircases on each side. These additions have been carefully added and painted to blend with the building. They do not detract from the overall historic nature of the structure. This building is a very good example of this style of architecture and is in a magnificent setting atop the hill with another Richardson Romanesque style structure. P3b.

Description: This is a short but substantial Richardson Romanesque style chapel and hall for which construction began in It was finished and dedicated in This building is fashioned out of hand cut stone blocks of a gray color from the quarry in the Gerstle Park area of San Rafael. Contrasting, hand cut stone blocks of a beige color, quarried in San Jose, are located around the entry, around the windows, and forming columns that border sections of the structure. The building is one story with the main portion being circular.the main portion is a circular form with tall arched stained glass windows with Masonic and Old Testament imagery. There is a finial on the conical roof of this portion of the structure. The rotunda is shorter than the main portion and consists of a 2/3rds circle attached to the west end of the structure. This portion has a low-sloped conical roof, which attaches to the main roof. There is a square tower section on the south side which sits lower than either portion and has a hipped roof. There is a round tower on the southeast edge of the structure, which is taller than the rest of the chapel. The upper portion of this tower houses several bells and is open, surrounded by short, Corinthian columns with arched openings. At the cardinal points the columns are grouped in sets of three. The finial on the tower is a round rendition of the Borromean rings, as a symbol of the Christian Trinity. The tower base, or crypt alcove, houses the remains of Alexander Montgomery. A side gabled colonnaded walkway stretches along the front (east side to the chapel) to the hall at the north. The colonnade roof is steeply pitched and runs from the southeast tower to the wall of the hall. The arches are horseshoe in shape and the columns are Corinthian in design. The hall portion is known as Montague Hall, and is front gabled and of the same stone and styling as the chapel, except it has rectangular window openings. The Chapel and Hall consist of one structure with two separated interior areas attached by the colonnaded walkway.alexander Montgomery died in 1893, and his will stipulated that a mausoleum should be built. The executors of the will decided that this mausoleum should be a portion of a chapel built on the SFTS campus. The chapel took much longer to build than the structures at the top of the hill, as funding was often tied up in probate. After the chapel was completed in 1897, Montgomery's remains were transferred from the Laurel Hill Cemetary in San Francisco to the chapel vault.this is a spectacular structure both for its Richardson Romanesque features and its unique Masonic symbols. The local Presbyterian, Greek Orthodox Church, and Jewish communities have used this chapel.

Description: Designed by James H Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco. Mitchell also designed Baird Hall, Landon Hall, and Hunter Hall on this campus which were all built within several years of one another. This is a large, three-story glass and concrete structure. The building was constructed to be a kitchen, dining room and common area for the campus. The building is square on the north, east, and west sides, with an outward angle along the south side from the southwest corner to the southeast corner. There is also an outward jog in the structure in the middle of this side so it looks to be two separate sections. The front is on the south side, which is the angled section. The front is a wall of windows and glass doors. The windows are held by aluminum frames. The rear and sides are flat concrete elements. The front walls are recessed from sides and roof. There is a metal balcony with metal railings along the third story across the front. A two story shed roof section is on the rear (north side) of the eastern portion. This is the kitchen area, and although attached to the rest of the structure has an address of 40 Kensington Road. This section has plain cement sides, with just one window opening on the second floor on the west side, and a single door on the first floor on the west side. There is just one ribbon of three windows, a fire exit with a metal door, and concrete stairs with a metal railing on the second story. This structure is International in style with all the concrete and glass, but is rather plain and appears as just a wall of windows. This would not be considered a high quality example of International architecture.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: Baird Hall is a concrete walled structure that is laid out around an open central courtyard, and has portions that are one story while other portions are two stories. The building is situated on the north end of what was Bouick field between Waverly Road and Kensington Road. This structure was built in 1950 as the woman s dormitory, and was named for Susanna Baird, who founded the SFTS Auxiliary and chaired the campaign to raise funds for the women s dormitory. It was designed by James H. Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco, who also designed Landon Hall, Hunter Hall and Alexander Hall on this campus. The building is of the International style, consisting of two sections, the front (south side) is a Z-shaped one-story portion and the rear (north side) is a two-story Z shaped portion. These are attached to one another forming the central courtyard. The front portion has meeting rooms, and the rear portion has dorm rooms. The roofs are all hipped. The main entry is at the south end, through the single story section. This has a multi-tiered roofline with flat front walls with a large aluminum framed windows and a large recessed entryway. The entire building has smooth undecorated wall surfaces, with no decorative detailing at the doors or windows and the windows are placed flush with the outer walls. Windows are large, substantial features at the front. On the rest, they are evenly spaced, average sized, aluminum framed side sliders. The two story section is very plain, without variation in windows and no decorative details. The front of the building gets its style from the large window elements, and recessed entry and brick stepped patio that leads to the entry, but being of the International style, the building has no further decoration. It is mostly camouflaged by the surrounding bushes and trees, and appears to blend into the landscape. This structure is not a good example of this type of architecture, and instead is rather average. It was not built by a well-known architect, and is just 61 years old. It does not fit within the District s period of significance. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to a district. P3b.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: Harris Osborn, a local San Anselmo resident, designed this Shingle style, front gabled structure that was finished in It is two stories high but is one open floor for most of the interior. The building is clad with shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. The front entry has a small center porch with a short shed roof overhang and a set of double doors. There is a large circular window in the gable end, which has crossed beams. Though circular, this window consists of divided square panes. There is a set of tall rectangular window openings centered between the entry and the building edge to each side. Each window contains eight awning windows, each of which is divided in four panes. The east side has four of these large elements evenly spaced across this side. There are evenly spaced brackets along the cornice. The rear of the building (north side), is much the same as the entry side, with the same decorative details including the large round window, but there is only a small single door exit. There is a one-story flat roof addition on the west side that takes up approximately half of the center portion of the building. The addition has the same shingles as the main structure, but the windows are smaller and more randomly placed. There has also been some shingle replacement on this side, with shingles of a different size. It appears that the original window configuration on this side was the same as the east side, but the window panes have been replaced, and one of the windows has been patched over. When originally constructed, there were low sloping ramps to the entry that were later changed to a single set of stairs. Otherwise the front has maintained the same appearance as the original construction. The structure was built as a gymnasium for the Seminary and was turned into a theater in More improvements were made to it in the 1970s. It is likely that the addition to the exterior was accomplished within this time period. While there are alterations to the east side, the original design is clearly evident on the other three sides, and from the front is truly representative of its original design and character. This structure would be eligible as a contributor to a historic district. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP10. Theater/ HP15. Educational Building P4.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: Oxtoby Hall was built in 1958 was designed by John C. Warnecke and Associates of San Francisco and constructed by Bishop and Mattei. Warnecke was a very nationally notable architect of the time, and has at least one structure on the National Register of Historic Places. He designed many campus buildings and campus plans around the country. Notable works include the Lincoln Center in New York, the Hawaiian State Capitol Building, and President John F. Kennedy s burial site. Oxtoby Hall won the School Executive Competition Award for outstanding design for a new residence hall in It was stated that he found a unique solution to a difficult site problem. The tall long and narrow International style building was designed with flexible room arrangements where the rooms can easily be converted from single to married student housing. When first constructed, the building provided twenty-eight single apartments and eight married apartments. It is a four-story structure situated into the northern hillside of the property, and the base level is about a story up from the street level. There is parking along the front at the street level, but this is not covered nor part of the structure. The building is made of a reinforced concrete frame, cantilevered beams, open concrete stairs, and large glass windows. Each room is floor to ceiling windows on the north side and divided from the next by a narrow concrete strip. There are concrete walkways with metal railings along the entire north side on the upper three levels. The south side of the structure has the same balconies. The lowest level is an open sided concrete slab floor. There are bow shaped columns that support the second floor balcony along the level floor on the north side, and the south side of this level is set into the hillside.. This structure was the seventh addition to the campus within ten years. This structure is individually eligible for the California Register based on association with a famous architect and being of exceptional design for that period. It is not eligible as a contributor to an historic district as most of the other structures from this same period are not of historic importance. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP3.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: During the construction of Hunter Hall, it became evident to the administration that the new structure was not adequate to address all the additional housing needs. They took the same designs used for Hunter Hall and built its twin adjacent to the north. Landon Hall was designed by James H. Mitchell, of Mitchell and Hawes, Architects of San Francisco and was constructed in 1949 as additional married student housing. It is a 21 unit apartment building. The building is a large rectangular, three story, concrete block structure with minimal design elements. The building is flat across the front with a recessed entry. There is also a small entry courtyard. This entry courtyard is between straight flat walls that extend from the sides of the entryway, and there is a beam overhead at the opening to the sidewalk. A set of two Corinthian columns is in the center supporting the beam. Over the open first floor entry there are two panels of cutouts to allow air into the partially open stairwell. These cutouts are on the second and third floors and are of a somewhat Art Deco style. There are square panels of a similar design on either side of the entry on each floor, outside the alcove. This detail around the entry is the only decorative design on the structure. The remainder the building consists of plain concrete, with regularly placed window openings. The first set of windows on either side of the entry and the last set of windows on each end of the front consist of a single double hung element. In between there are two sets on each floor of rectangular openings each with three double hung windows. Windows originally had wood sashes, but Landon hall is currently being refurbished and new vinyl sashed windows are replacing the aluminum framed elements. There are two recessed sections on the backside where there are short balconies and to the lateral side of each of these recessed portions there are short extended balconies at each level. The roof is hipped across the front with three cross hips extending to the rear. The structure is a very basic functional building and of the exact same design as Hunter Hall. It is rather a plain, Modernistic, utilitarian structure, with a small bit of Art Deco design element added. This is not built by a well-known architect and is not of exceptional architectural design. It is also constructed later than period proposed for the historic district that is proposed. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to an historic district. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP3.

Description: This is the previous location of the Thomas Day house, which was a Victorian Style house that was removed from the property in The existing house was then constructed and finished in 1952 This split-level house was built in 1952 and is oriented to the east, away from Bolinas Avenue. The house at 130 Bolinas Avenue (built in 1954) appears to have been constructed with the same floor plan used for this structure. However, this house has a second story dormer located over the garage that is not present on the structure at 130 Bolinas Avenue. Otherwise the structures have the same layout. The Seminary does not have records for who designed or constructed this structure, but the builder may have been Herbert A. Crocker Co., who built 30 Kensington Ave. and 130 Bolinas Ave. during the same time period. The Seminary is also lacking records for the architect of the other three houses built around the same time.the garage faces the street and is a single story hipped roof portion that is attached to the main two-story hipped roof house. There is a cross hipped section that is centered over the garage, on the second floor. This is half the width of the house, and sits over the center of the garage roof. The garage and part of the roof of the main portion is all that is seen from the street. There is a rollup single car garage door on the south side of the garage and a single window on the east side of the garage section. The main entrance is in the center on the east side, and is accessed by a walkway. The entry is slightly pushed out from the main wall, and there is a hipped roof just over the entry area. There are evenly spaced windows to either side of the door, and similar windows in matching locations on the second floor. These windows are three part elements with vinyl frames, a central fixed pane and two side casements. There is also a single fixed pane window on the upper floor above the entry. The rest of the house has narrow, vinyl framed, two part, side sliding windows. The original aluminum framed elements have all been replaced. The entire house is clad with stucco, but there is a faux brick, three foot tall, border that surrounds the house at the base. There is a wide stucco sided chimney in the center of the north side of the house. The roof is clad with flat tiles. The house is a very basic, typical example of houses of its type built in the 1950s across the United States. Houses such as this are abundant and are not considered historical resources. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to an historic district. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP2.

Description: This Shingle style house was designed by Julia Morgan, and build to flank the original entry, which passed between this house and 130 Bolinas. Today this area is just a walkway to other portions of the SFTS grounds. This house faces the old entry and not Bolinas Avenue, so the entry and decorative front of the house is on the west side. This is a two-story, side gabled structure with a slight, decorative, cross gable over the center front entry, and at the rear of the house in the mirror location. The house is covered with shingles in their natural tone, with uninterrupted corners. The entry is slightly recessed, and the centered, single, wood front door is flanked on either side by a pair of leadlight windows. There is also a five part frame on the exterior portion of the entry.the roof has a slight overhang, and there is a slight flair at the base of the second floor over the first story. The windows are double hung on most of the house, excepting three sets of casement windows on the second floor in the cross gable over the entry. Each of these has a planter box below and faux shutters on the sides. The rest of the windows on the house do not have the shutters. The first floor has sets of a ribbon of three double hung window elements on each end. A brick fireplace is on the center of the south side and another brick chimney is located in near the roof peak within the northern portion of the house. On the rear of the house there is a one-story shed roof section that runs along 2/3 of the rear at the north portion and wraps around the north side for a little less than half of this side of the house. Overall this house retains original design elements and architectural integrity. It is designed by noted architect Julia Morgan and is a good example of her work. It is an embellished Shingle style house with storybook elements. It would be eligible for the California Register both individually and as part of a district.there is a small garage located to the northeast of the house. This is a small front gabled two-car garage with a tilt-up garage door on the west side. It has a concrete slab foundation, lapped narrow clapboards as siding and wide, dog toothed boards set vertically in the gable end.

However, this house lacks the small, second story cross gable located over the garage at that is present on the structure at 102 Bolinas Avenue. Otherwise the structures have the same layout. The Seminary does not have records for who designed this structure, but the builder was Herbert A Crocker Co., who also built 30 Kensington Ave. The Seminary is also lacking records for the architects of the other three houses built around the same time.the garage faces the street and is a single story hipped roof portion that is attached to the main two-story hipped roof house. The garage and part of the roof of the main portion is all that is seen from the street. There is a rollup two car garage door on the south side of the garage and a single entry door on the east side of the garage section. The main entrance is in the center on the east side, and is accessed by a walkway. The entry is slightly recessed. There are evenly spaced windows to either side of the door, and similar windows in matching locations on the second floor. These windows are three part elements with aluminum frames, a central fixed pane and two side sliders. There is also a single double hung window on the upper floor above the entry. The rest of the house has, narrow, aluminum framed, two part, side sliding windows. There is a wide stucco sided chimney in the center of the north side of the house.the first story and garage are stucco sided and the second floor has lapped medium width clapboards. The roof is clad with composite tiles. The house is very basic, typical example of houses like this build in the 1950s across the United States.

Description: This two story Queen Anne Victorian was one of the first residences on the property and was constructed at the same time as the Richardson Romanesque halls at the top of the hill. There was a second residence of this same architectural design built at the same time that was previously located at 108 Bolinas Avenue. However, that house was removed around 1950 and a new house was constructed in This structure was designed by Wright and Saunders of San Francisco and built by Barr and McKay. This structure was built to house William Alexander (California Professor of Church History), and was first referred to as Alexander House, and later known as Wishart House. The house was also used as the women s dormitories from 1938 to It was then converted back into a single family house for professors, which it is to this day. The house has multiple rooflines and an irregular shaped footprint. There is a 2/3 length front porch that wraps around the east side and extends for half the length of the east side of the house. The house has a square corner at this point, but the porch and porch roof are rounded. There is an octagonal shaped tower portion at the southwest corner. The front entry is in the center of the south side of the structure, and a forward projection of the front porch is in front of this with a gabled, pedimented roof. On the second story at this location there is a small cross gable section that also has a pediment. The house is clad in narrow painted wood clapboards on the first floor and painted shingles on the second. There are decoratively placed square shingles inside the pediments. There is decorative molding detail at the cornices, and the windows have surrounds with small crowns. Windows are double hung elements, for the most part, and many have four divided panes in the upper sash and a single undivided pane in the lower sash. There are several awning windows on the first story. The foundation is brick. There are two brick chimneys inside the house. One exits the roof in the center of the western portion of the house and the other in the center of the eastern portion of the house. This structure is a good example of a Queen Anne Victorian, and is one of the first houses built on the campus. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP2. Single family property - faculty house P4.

Description: The house is a Shingle style structure built in William Knowles of San Francisco designed the house and the construction was carried out by Mr. Field. The house located at 26 Kensington Court was built at the same time, designed by the same architect and constructed by the same builder. This house is a two story structure with a half basement and unfinished attic. It has a side gable on hip roof, and is a rather rectangular structure with a small polygonal, gabled dormer on the west side, and shingled walls that are uninterrupted at the corners. Windows are not symmetrically placed and most windows are double hung. There is an external brick chimney on the west side. There is a half porch on the front (south side). At the western end of the porch there is a partially enclosed staircase that leads to the second story. This partially enclosed area is also clad with the same shingles on the south, west, and second story portion of the east side. The north side is flush with the building and the east side is open on the first story except for a three-foot wide strip on the north portion where there is a closet. This portion looks like an addition, but it shows up in the older photographs and both the 1919 Sanborn map, so it is likely original or a very early addition completed within the first ten years after construction The main entry is on the first level, and is central between the ends of the structure. The 2/3 porch area on the front previously had a pergola over the entire porch, which was removed post The north side (back) of the house has a small outward extension of a breakfast nook in the center that leads to the back patio. This bump-out is only present on the first floor, and it has a shed roof. This is part of the original construction and shows on the 1919 Sanborn Map. It is notable that the building went through several periods of alterations. The house was vacant (and likely renovated) between 1926 and 1928 when it was changed from being a single-family residence to a women s dormitory. Again between 1955 and 1957 the house was renovated and converted into two separated residences, the upper floor and the first floor. It was later changed back into a single-family residence. An elevator was added, likely in the 1920s or 1930s when the house was converted into a women s dormitory. The elevator is inside the building but the shaft area was attached to the exterior at the northwestern corner. The author previously evaluated this house in 2009 (Chattan 2009). Because of alterations and this not being a great example of Shingle Style, the house was determined ineligible for the California Register as an individual listing, but it did have enough integrity and style that it would likely be a contributor to a historic district (Chattan 2009).

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: This is a massive three-story Shingle style house designed by Julia Morgan and constructed by William H. Dwyer. The house is clad with natural toned wood shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. It is side gabled with a large cross gable section on the third story only at the center that extends over the entry and is supported by two large brackets. The entry is reached by a large staircase on the left side of the front that leads to the 2/3rds length front porch. The side of the stairway is clad in a wall of shingles at the base and a short railing above. A strip of trim between the second and third floor simulates an overhang. Most of the windows on the front are set in ribbons of three with a large central pane flanked by narrow casement windows with divided panes. These are rectangular for the most part, but the element in the center of the front cross gable is Palladian. The upper story has smaller sets of windows that consist of two divided pane casements. There are single double hung elements on the sides of the structure. There is a brick chimney attached to the exterior of the house at the center of the west side. The rear of the house is on the north sideand is set slightly into the hill. The backyard is reached through the second story. Thie rear has a two story cross gable in the center portion, which is original to this side. This structure had a covered porch at the east end of thie rear. However, a shed roof addition has been added across the rear at either side of the cross gable. A small extended shed portion is at the east end. There is also a wheelchair lift added to the east side of the front porch. These additions are clad with the same shingles as the rest of the house and do not detract from the overall historic design or layout Fifty feet to the west of the house is a small single car garage. This garage was built at the same time as the house, but well away from the house structure, and evidently hidden from the initial view of the house. The garage is roughly 12' by 12' and has a single roll up garage door on the south. The original door is a barn type door on the west. The garage has a hipped roof and there are decorative rafters along the eves. The exterior is clad with natural toned wood shingles, like the house, but has corner boards. There is also a single door on the east. While built at the same time as the house, this garage seems to have been situated so that it would not detract from the main house, and appears it was intended to be mostly hidden from the front view of the house. It has been modified. This garage is associated with the house at 47 Seminary Drive but is not a significant contributor to the properties historic feel, and would not be eligible as a contributor to the historic district.

It was designed by B.S. Hayne of San Francisco. It is known as Rosehaven. The building is a cross gabled structure with a bumped out portico at the interior corner for the entry. It is two stories but based on the very tall windows on portions of it, the interior has some rooms with second floor ceilings. The house is covered with shingles with uninterrupted corners. The front cross gable and a small gabled dormer on the north end of the front have half-timber decoration. There are large decorative stained glass windows on the front, and the other windows are casements with faux shutters. The main decorative window on the front consists of a set of three tall narrow elements with a clear diamond shaped panes.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: George W. Percy and Frederick F. Hamilton of San Francisco designed this house and the contractor was B. F. Ellis of Berkeley. It was built in 1895 and was the first addition to the SFTS property after the initial structures. It is a Shingle style, two and a half story structure, with a front gable on hipped roof. It has a full-length front porch, which has a solid lower wall, and evenly spaced round columns that sit on the low wall and support the porch roof. The exterior is completely covered with natural toned shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. The full-length front porch wraps around the southeast corner and extends for half of the east side of the structure. There is a centered front door on the west side. The front cross gable is on the south side of the front of the house, and of this portion the southern half of the upper floor portion is recessed. Inside the gable end is a wide window that is fairly recessed, and the sides of the recessed portion are rounded. There is also a window in the upper portion of the gable that is recessed and has rounded sides as well. There are two types of window, plain double hung elements, and wider double hung elements with a two part divided pane in the upper sash. There is a brick chimney that sticks out of the center of the southern half of the roof. This structure has a detached garage at the rear this is a small front gabled structure with two separate tilt-up garage doors. The doors have a solid painted finish, and the rest of the structure is clad with shingles similar to those on the house. The garage shows on the 1924 quad but not on the 1909 or 1919 quad. It is therefore a later addition to the property, and likely altered to be a two-car garage at a later date. This garage is not of significant design, and is rather utilitarian, but clad with shingles to match the house. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP2. Single family property P4.

Description: The house is a Shingle style structure built in William Knowles of San Francisco designed the house and Mr. Field carried out the construction. The house located at 53 Seminary Drive was built at the same time, designed by the same architect, and constructed by the same builder. This house has been known as Landon House, for William Landon, the first resident who lived here from 1909 to Gurdon Oxtoby then moved into this house and occupied it from 1929 to In 1939 Oxtoby s mother, Ida Oxtoby paid for an addition and annex to the structure to be built. She then lived in the annex, with an address of 24 Kensington Ct until she died in the 1950s. It is now known as Trinity House and used as student residences. The Shingle style house is a two story, hipped roof residence with a recessed covered front entry and no porch. It has a tower portion on the north end of the front, and the first story of the tower has an extended bay with windows on it. The rest front is otherwise rather flat. The house is clad in natural toned shingles that are uninterrupted at the corners. Windows are double hung elements without divided panes (although these appear to have been replaced). The front of the house still looks much the same as when originally built, but there have been additions. There is a one story addition on the south side which is flush with the front of the house. The annex, with a separate address, is located on the southeast corner of the main house and addition. This is also just one story tall but has multiple hipped roof lines. Both additions are clad with natural toned shingles and have the same double hung windows that are on the main portion of the house. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP2.

The house has a stucco exterior and vinyl framed windows throughout. The original windows were likely aluminum sashed, and replaced at a later time. The northwestern portion is square in footprint, two stories tall, and has a hipped roof. To the east of that section is a two-story section set slightly lower than the western section. This has a half hipped roof that intersects the wall of the western portion. It appears to have had a garage on the lower level, but that was later converted to living area, and the location of the garage door has French doors and windows. There is a slight overhang over the windows and door. To the south of the northwestern portion is a single story section that is situated on a slight hill. This section is flush with the first floor of the northwestern section, but between the two levels of the eastern section. The entry is through this section and reached by a walkway from the street. The half hipped roof of this section intersects the wall of the northwestern portion. Walls of each section seamlessly mesh on the north side and west side. The house is a very basic, typical example of houses like this built in the 1950s across the United States. Houses such as this are abundant and are not considered historical resources.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: This Split Level style home fronts Kensington Road across from Lloyd Hall, is adjacent to the south of Alexander Hall, and behind 25 Kensington Court. This is composed of two sections, as Split Level structures usually are. The northern portion is a two-story square element with a hipped roof, clad in horizontally placed wide boards on the lower level and vertical siding on the upper level. The windows are all vinyl-sashed elements which likely replaced earlier aluminum framed elements that would have been used during the time period in which this was originally constructed. There is a wood framed open carport on the north side of this section. The second section is on the south side and positioned into a small hill, and situated between the two levels on the north section. The entry is on the west side of this portion and is reached through a stairway from the driveway. The single story portion is clad with the horizontal boards that appear on the lower level of the two story portion. This section also has a hipped roof that intersects with the wall and lower portion of the roof of the north section. The entire roof is clad with composite shingles. This is typical of houses built in the 1950s across the United States. Houses such as this are abundant and are not considered historical resources. This structure is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to an historic district. P3b. Resource Attributes - Historic: HP2.

Other Locational Data: Land Grant: Punta De Quentin P3. Description: This building consists of a single story rectangular structure roughly 48 feet long and 24 feet wide with a shed roof. The building is constructed of concrete block walls with square fixed pane windows. There is rafter detailing on the south and north sides of the structure. The building was constructed in 1960, as verified through the files at the SFTS library. There is a single door and a double hung window on the west side, and what was a fixed pane window opening that is covered with plywood at this time. The south side faces into the hillside, but has a ribbon of six rectangular fixed pane windows along the upper portion of this wall, near the center of the wall. There is a single car sized roll up door and a single standard entry door on the east side. The north side faces the street, but there are bushes along the front the block access to this side of the structure. There are two sections of windows on this side of the structure. Along the western half is a ribbon of six window sections, that each were three window sections high. The lowest set of these windows has been replaced with wood and painted. The upper two rows are still fixed pane glass. On the eastern half there is a centered portion that looks as though it may have been a roll-up door in the past. This section is filled with horizontally placed wood clapboards, whereas the rest of the structure has concrete walls. The upper portion of this section has a ribbon of three fixed rectangular panes. This building is not of significant design, and does not have significant age. While over 45 years of age, it is not a significant historic resource and is not eligible for the California Register either individually or as a contributor to a district. P3b.

The cistern is no longer in use and is now full of dirt, plants, and rocks. The outer casing of the cistern is severely weathered with parts broken off. The entire cistern is heavily covered in ivy and other vegetation. It is set into the hillside and completely buried on the south side. It may have been connected to a spring on Bald Hill, 2.5 miles to the southwest (GANDA 2009 investigation). The original construction date of this structure could not be determined and this feature has evidently been out of use for a long time.
