Historian Scott Powell will be holding a captivating session entitled "Inspiring Escapism: The GGIE Interiors of Frances Elkins" at the Treasure Island Museum in San Francisco on November 4, 2023. This session will shed light on the remarkable career of Frances Adler Elkins, a renowned interior designer who made her mark in California, Illinois, and New York. Elkins was celebrated for her distinctive approach of seamlessly blending classical and contemporary elements, while also showcasing her exceptional command of color and texture. Powell's newly released book, "Frances Elkins: Visionary American Designer," published by Rizzoli in late March 2023, serves as a comprehensive tribute to her unparalleled contributions in the field.

During the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to witness a showcase of Elkins' work across the country. However, the spotlight will be on three key projects: the Yerba Buena Clubhouse, the San Francisco Building, and Hostess House. These interiors, which Elkins adorned during the 1939 and 1940 Golden Gate Exposition, were highly regarded as the most exquisite and groundbreaking spaces of the time. Rare images will be unveiled, allowing participants to truly immerse themselves in the beauty and innovation of these remarkable creations.

This event promises to be an inspiring and enlightening journey into the remarkable world of Frances Adler Elkins. Don't miss the chance to gain insights into the visionary designs that continue to captivate and influence interior design enthusiasts to this day.

Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay is an artificial island built in 1936 for the 1939 Golden Gate Expo. Because Treasure Island is located in the middle of San Francisco Bay, the surrounding scenery is good, but the buildings on the island are a bit old now.

Alcatraz Island

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Lombard Street

Came here on September 24, 2017.

This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco.

Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road.

If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain.

Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver&#39;s license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
