Event Description:
Join us for our CASTLE Bonus Program, a live virtual program provided by the Senior Learning Network. CASTLE Bonus Programs are provided the first four Tuesdays of every month and are included in your CASTLE Membership. This program will survey the rich architectural history of Angel Island, ranging from the American Civil War intro the end of the Second World War, and beyond to the eventual architectural restoration efforts in more recent years. The imposing military architecture of Fort McDowell and Camp Reynolds will be reviewed, along with the contributions of celebrated California architects Walter j. Mathews and Julia Morgan, who were commissioned by the US Department of Commerce to design the buildings of USIS Angel Island. The park is home to over 100 historic structures, and we will be taking a closer look at selected examples of the fascinating architectural catalogue of the island.
