Virtual Lecture Series: The Life of Julia Morgan, Trailblazing Architect

Pioneering architect Julia Morgan (1872-1957) is best known as the designer of William Randolph Hearst’s lavish San Simeon estate (1919), but did you know she built an additional 700 structures throughout the west? Her life and career are a story intersecting with the end of the Gilded Age, both in the style of her architecture and her experiences. Victoria Kastner, author of the new biography "Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect," explores the fascinating story of her private life while also discussing her inspiring public career during this Zoom lecture held April 14, 2022.
