Bay Area

The San Francisco Bay Area is a cultural center as well as a geographical wonderland.

American Steel Studios

American Steel Studios has two distinctly different warehouses. The first is an industrial paradise with high clearance, bridge cranes, drive through truck access and roll-up doors all around. The second is a less industrial space for more technical work and is flooded with natural light.

Ascension Cathedral

The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension was elevated to the status of a cathedral in February 1992. The church has evolved from a predominantly immigrant society into one that now spans six generations, making it the largest Greek Orthodox community in the Metropolis of San Francisco.

Berkeley Typewriter

Berkeley Typewriter has been operating since the 1930s. Joe Banuelos has run the University Avenue shop for nearly twenty years.

Chapel of the Chimes

The present building dates largely from a 1928 redevelopment based on the designs of the architect Julia Morgan. The Moorish and Gothic-inspired interior is a maze of small rooms featuring ornate stonework, statues, gardens, fountains and mosaics.

Joaquin Miller Park

Joaquin Miller Park is named after early California writer and poet Joaquin Miller, who bought the land in the 1880s, naming it "The Hights", and lived in the house preserved as the Joaquin Miller House.

Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve

The preserve contains a volcanic center that, about 10 million years ago, produced most of the lavas that underlie the East Bay ridges from Inspiration Point in Tilden Regional Park to Moraga; geologists refer to this local volcanism as the Moraga Volcanics.

St. Louise Studios

St. Louise Studios provide artists with space and equipment to make large-scale steel projects.

USS Potomac

USS Potomac was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidential yacht from 1936 until his death in 1945. She is now preserved in Oakland, California, as a National Historic Landmark.
