University of California at Berkeley, b. 1902.
From the website:
"The Club building is an architectural gem of Craftsman design, by architects Bernard Maybeck and John Galen Howard. It's listed internationally, as one of the finest examples of the style. The carved beams, the fireplaces, the stained glass windows all reflect Maybeck's awareness of a special northern California aesthetic that still arouses a warm response in visitors and members alike."

The California Academy of Sciences museum on the far side featuring a "living roof" which may be toured on foot. Most interesting! An impressive cultural cluster in the City of San Francisco.
