Julian Morgan Architectural Tour

Our first stop will be the former Riverside YWCA, designed in 1929 by Julia Morgan (1872–1957) and adapted in 1967 as the Riverside Art Museum.

Julia Morgan designed many buildings for institutions serving women and girls, including seventeen YWCA buildings. Julia Morgan was the first woman architect licensed in California.

She designed more than 700 buildings in California during a long and prolific career. She is best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.

Rancho Santa Fe planned community

The tour continues to the Rancho Santa Fe planned community designed by Lilian Rice.

During lunch at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the RSF Historical Society will present a historic overview, followed by a brief tour of Rice’s civic center, and a visit to two Rice-designed residences.

Few California architects have been offered as wide and uncluttered a testing ground for their concepts, and few can claim as harmonious and convincing a communal statement as Rice achieved at Rancho Santa Fe (Architectural Historian Harriet Rochlin).

Lilian Rice (1889–1938) studied architecture at the University of California at Berkeley. She became one of the first two women to graduate from that institution in 1910, and one of the earliest licensed female architects in the State of California. Through an association with architects Richard Requa and Herbert Jackson, she received the commission in the early 1920s to implement the master design of Rancho Santa Fe, one of the first planned communities in California and one of the first created for the automobile.

She drew the civic center plan and designed the first shops and apartments, the inn, the administration building, the early service station, the garden clubhouse, the school, and the library, all in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, reflective of early Spanish and Mexican period area architecture. With the establishment of her own office, she designed dozens of Rancho Santa Fe’s early homes and headed the art jury that passed judgment on every building constructed. (Historic Homes & Buildings in Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society, 1999, 2002).
