What do the Cliff House, the Fairmont Hotel, the GG Park Music Concourse bandshell and the SFBC’s Market St. headquarters have in common? They’re all projects designed by the Reid Brothers, who, in the first few decades of the 20th Century, designed an impressive number of San Francisco’s buildings. With scant professional training but plenty of hustle, these Canadian brothers left their mark across the width of our city. Come discover some of their work and hear their story. 2 hour ride, longer if we’re having fun; have a big lunch beforehand, we’ll stop somewhere for a snack; rain cancels. Meet at 1:30 pm in front of the David Hewes Building, 995 Market St (at 6th St).

Cost: FREE
Venue: David Hewes Building
Address: 995 Market St. (@ 6th St.), San Francisco, CA
