Churchotel: 1930
San Francisco circa 1930. "William Taylor Hotel, McAllister and Leavenworth streets." This 28-story agglomeration of Gothic Revival, Art Deco and Art Moderne styles housed a "superchurch" -- Temple Methodist Episcopal, and was named in honor of the street preacher who formed the city's first Methodist congregation. Gelatin silver print. View full size.
Party at the Top
My wife and I held a big party in the penthouse restaurant for our 40th birthdays (now -- yikes! -- 23 years ago).
Bigger than NY
There was a 40-story Methodist church planned for Broadway in NYC back in the 1920's, but it ended up being significantly smaller.
Old and new, plus very new
Since 1981, the William Taylor Hotel has been McAllister Tower Apartments, owned by the University of California's Hastings College of the Law and housing law students and their families. Looming over it (and everything else) is Salesforce Tower, a mile away but three times as high.
