The lecture/ tour will be Thursday\, September 29 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. \nSome will recall that Ms. Kastner led the extraordinary NCCSAH tour of Hearst Castle in November 2015.

Victoria Kastner’s talk on Julia Morgan’s life and architecture will begin at 9:30am. At 10:30\, Ms. Kastner will lead a tour of the City Club\, a building of great\nbeauty and dignity\, often referred to as “Julia’s Second Castle.” A short walk takes us to the Hearst Memorial Gymnasium on the UC campus\, a 1927 collaboration of Morgan (who designed the swimming pool\, which we will see) and Bernard Maybeck. \nLunch will be on your own from 12:15 to 1:15 pm (there are many lunch options in the area). \nWe return to the City Club by 1:15\, where a charter bus will take us to the 1908 St. John’s Presbyterian Church (now the Berkeley Playhouse)\, a landmark in the Craftsman Style by Julia Morgan. Thereafter\, we’ll bus to the nearby privately owned 1908 Goddard House to tour the painstakingly restored interior with beautiful period furnishings and light fixtures. \nThe tour will end at about 4:30 pm at the what may be Morgan’s most profound and sublime building\, the Chapel of the Chimes\, in Oakland.

SUMMARY:Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect with Victoria Kastner at The Mount
DESCRIPTION:In its 29th year\, The Mount’s annual Summer Lecture Series highlights recent works of memoir and biography. Join us for an eclectic mix of stories about historical figures and contemporary underrepresented voices. \nVictoria Kastner‘s new biography—featuring over 150 archival images and full-color photographs printed throughout—introduces Julia Morgan as a pioneering architect and a captivating individual. This compelling biography draws on interviews\, letters\, and Morgan’s diaries\, including never-before-seen reflections on faith\, art\, and her life experiences. Morgan’s friendship with Hearst\, her passion for California’s landscape\, her struggles with familial dementia\, and her devotion to architecture reveal her to have been a singularly brilliant and determined artist. \n“Handsome and comprehensive . . . Victoria Kastner’s words\, along with Alexander Vertikoff’s photography\, provide a sweeping overview of Julia Morgan’s vast\, versatile body of work. You’ll want to get a hard copy of this book; e-readers don’t do justice to the photos or the layout. It’s a volume to hold in your hands and savor.”\n—San Francisco Chronicle \nThe Mount is a Massachusetts Cultural Council UP designated organization welcoming participants of all disabilities.

SUMMARY:Monday Club -- Julia Morgan Lecture and Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Doors Open California! You will have an unprecedented opportunity to see “behind-the-scenes”  through in-person historical tours and virtual storytelling events. Explore places off the beaten path and meet field experts\, tour guides\, and subject matter experts. \nThis year’s Doors Open California\, our first-ever\, will highlight more than 75 unique and fascinating places in all corners of the state. Looking for something specific? Check out our Highlight Categories including Women\, Early California\, Diversity\, and Architectural Gems. \nYou will have access to the full spectrum of programs on the weekend. Simply pre-register and reserve your spots. Plan your trip and look for the docents with Doors Open California logos. \n6/12\, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nMonday Club – Julia Morgan Lecture and tour\nSan Luis Obispo (1934) – Women \nA visit to The Monday Club is a unique opportunity to tour a 1934 vintage women’s club designed by Architect Julia Morgan. During the first quarter of the 20th century Julia Morgan was the first woman granted an architectural license in California\, the 19th Amendment granting women a constitutional right to vote was ratified by Congress\, and The Monday Club was founded by a dynamic group of women in 1924. Similarly significant contributions by civic-minded women were being made elsewhere in California and in the world. \nVisitors to The Monday Club will enjoy viewing original architectural features including murals\, hardwood herringbone floors and the open truss system that was a recurring element in many of Miss Morgan’s buildings. \nIntegral to appreciating the history of The Monday Club is an understanding of what was occurring elsewhere in our country and the world during this period. On display will be an educational timeline that we have created depicting 100 years of history and events in San Luis Obispo\, California and the world. Interpretive discussion of the timeline will be part of the docent-led tours that will be ongoing throughout the Doors Open event scheduled lecture by a Julia Morgan historian will also be part of the event. \nHosting Organization –\n \nThe Monday Clubhouse Conservancy – https://www.themondayclubslo.org/OUR-HISTORY \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:California Preservation Foundation\, Julia Morgan's California
DESCRIPTION:Julia Morgan’s California – An Illustrated Virtual Lunch-time Hour \nDuring her remarkable fifty-year career\, California architect Julia Morgan designed 700 buildings\, more than half of which were completed before women even had won the right to vote. In 2014\, more than sixty years after she closed her office\, the American Institute of Architects posthumously awarded her the Gold Medal\, its most prestigious honor. She was the first woman recipient in the award’s 100-year history. \nThis one-hour illustrated talk will explore this native daughter’s incomparable legacy. Hearst Castle may be her best-known project\, but her architecture surrounds and inspires us in such cities as Lake Tahoe\, Grass Valley\, Sacramento\, San Francisco\, Oakland\, Berkeley\, Monterey\, Fresno\, Bakersfield\, Santa Barbara\, Los Angeles\, Riverside\, and San Pedro. Kastner will highlight the stories behind many of Morgan’s buildings\, and also draw attention to those which are at risk of destruction. \n“Julia Morgan’s California” will expand our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary life and legacy.

SUMMARY:The Preservation Society of Newport County\, Virtual Lecture

A prevailing myth maintains that Morgan destroyed her personal papers. Victoria Kastner\, author of the new biography “Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect\,” will refute this legend and reveal the fascinating story of Julia Morgan’s private life\, as well as discuss the architect’s inspiring public career. The virtual lecture will take place on Thursday\, April 14 at 6:00 pm EST\, 3:00 pm PST. \nOur virtual lectures are free and registration will be open to the public.
