Landmarking the Church
Currently, the ordinance to landmark the church is with the Land Use Committee of the Board of Supervisors. This ordinance will landmark the exterior of the church including the Harry Clarke stained glass windows.
The Land Use Committee will hear the ordinance this Wednesday, September 27. We are hopeful that the ordinance will move out of this Committee and go to the Board of Supervisors for a vote. The owners of the building, the Academy of Art University, oppose the landmarking.
Please attend this meeting and show your support for making St. Brigid Church a City Landmark! It is vital that we have a large presence at this meeting. The hearing begins at 1:00 p.m. in City Hall, Room 263.
A Challenge to our National Register and California Register ListingThe Academy of Art University recently petitioned the State Office of Historic Preservation requesting that St. Brigid Church be removed from the Determined Eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and from listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). St. Brigid was added to these listings in 1995. Parishioners, John Herrera, James Peterson, and Robert Tokarski, helped make this possible. The report was written by Anne Bloomfield. The Committee's friend, Loren Charles, produced a 9 Minute video which helped to illustrate the beauty of the church.
There will be two hearings regarding this petition.
The City Landmark Preservation Advisory Board will hear the petition on Wednesday, October 4 at 12:00 or 12:30 pm, City Hall, Rm 400. Letters of support should be addressed to:
Mark Luellen
San Francisco Planning Department
1660 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA 94103 -2414
The State Historical Resources Commission is scheduled to take action on these requests at its regular meeting on Friday, October 27, 2006, to be held in Sacramento, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Please show your support by writing a letter to the Commission. Written comments regarding this matter should be received by the Office of Historic Preservation no later than October 10, 2006. Letters should be addressed to:
Milford Wayne Donaldson, FAIA
State Historic Preservation Officer
Office of Historic Preservation
P.O. Box 942896
Sacramento, CA 94296 -0001
More information on these topics, including letter writing tips.
