Julia Morgan: A Very Personal View

Victoria Kastner will reveal the inspiring story of Julia Morgan’s private life, as gleaned from the letters Julia exchanged with her family and friends, as well as from the observations she wrote in her private diaries. In this presentation, customized for the Hillside Club, Kastner will provide an especially in-depth and intimate view of this famous architect.

Ms. Kastner will be calling on the materials she researched for her just-released book: Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect (Chronicle Books, 2022), which provides the first in-depth look at Morgan’s fascinating private life as well as her remarkable professional career. Copies of this volume will be available for purchase that evening, and Ms. Kastner will be available to sign copies of any books purchased at the Club.

This Fireside Meeting will take place in person at the Hillside Club. All guests must present proof of vaccination and everyone will be required to wear masks except when eating and drinking.

​Admission is free for Hillside Club members, and $16 for members of the public on Eventbrite.
