Between 1904 and 1927 Bernard Maybeck designed 15 architectural works still extant in San Francisco. They are as varied in style as in their size and function and range from modest residential commissions to masterpieces of world reknown, such as the extraordinary Palace of Fine Arts, designed for the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition of 1915. structures. Besides the houses for Samuel Goslinsky and Leon L. Roos, Maybeck designed two neighborhood clubs (Telegraph Hill and Forest Hill), Earle C. Anthony's Packard automobile showroom, and the offices for the Associated Charities. Maybeck's surviving work in San Francisco reflects his ever inventive genius and fully substantiates the Beaux Arts tenet that architecture is a branch of the fine arts.
