Event Details
About the Event
San Francisco native Timothy Pflueger designed some of the Bay Area’s most iconic structures of the Art Deco era, from movie palaces (the Castro Theatre and the Paramount in Oakland); to skyscrapers (the Telephone Building and 450 Sutter); and the I. Magnin flagship store. This talk will cover the highlights of Pflueger’s productive career, from his humble origins to his rise as a major San Francisco architect. The San Francisco Historical Society will make available copies of the book on Timothy Pfleuger’s work, Time and Tim Remembered, by Milton and John Pflueger.
