Join us for a guided tour of Julia Morgan’s stunning Berkeley City Club. Learn about this trailblazing architect, the first woman certified by the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as we explore the vaulted halls, arcades, courtyards and plunge pool of this 1930 architectural gem — affectionately known as the “Little Castle.”

 

After the tour, you're invited to stay for complementary tea/coffee, tea sandwiches, sweet treats, scones, and conversation with Club members — many of whom have been part of the OLLI community for years. A lovely Friday afternoon. Organized by OLLI's Member Engagement Committee.
