Her St. John's Presbyterian Church in Berkeley is now the Julia Morgan Theater. She did a clinic on Broadway in Oakland that is now occupied by the Kaiser Permanente medical plan. The heat she took for being a woman architect led her to burn most of her drawings after her jobs were done. That's a pity because she was a superb artist as well as architect. The few drawings that survive attest to her skill.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101063291894014908.post-72747253020750382232010-01-17T04:00:05.199+01:002010-01-17T04:00:05.199+01:00The sculpture is interesting - Philippe is sitting...The sculpture is interesting - Philippe is sitting down in a relaxed position and Elizabeth is standing, in an almost heroic pose.Clueless in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101063291894014908.post-3743654300883219222010-01-17T03:36:49.093+01:002010-01-17T03:36:49.093+01:00Glad to see a female architect, which in the past ...Glad to see a female architect, which in the past was not a traditional occupation for women.
