On Saturday San Francisco Architectural Heritage held its annual meeting at the San Francisco Friends School. Quaker design philosophy is extremely appealing to me and my great uncle, Selby Cluer, was a practicing Quaker and architect! It is tremendous that the Levi Strauss Company choose the Friends School for their historic building. During the Great Depression the Levi Strauss Company had it's employees lay new maple floors to avoid having to lay people off. These maple floors were retained to the greatest extent possible during the rehabilitation project.
