The Julia Morgan Building is a Jacobean Revival building commissioned by the San Francisco Ladies Protection and Relief Society. The building was designed by Julia Morgan [2][3] and opened its doors in 1925[4].
Constructed with reinforced concrete for earthquake resilience, the structure showcases a blend of brick, terracotta, and slate, adorned with Tudor rose motifs that symbolize love and protection[4].
Today, as Heritage on the Marina[5], the premises serves as a retirement community for the elderly[6][7].
