The Heritage

The Heritage ... Bay x Laguna

The Heritage is currently in service as a high-end care home. It was designed by Julia Morgan, who also designed Hearst Castle and environs. Built on landfill, it is one of the few multistory brick buildings in the marina to survive Loma Prieta unscathed. The garden is in bloom, but the sun was so high and hot today that everything wilted. I suspect the plantings were chosen with an eye toward the usual fog.
