Forest Hill Club House

Architect: Bernard Maybeck

Constructed: 1919

Location: 381 Magellan Street
San Francisco, CA

Residents of the Forest Hill neighborhood themselves built the club house designed by the renowned Bernard Maybeck. The Forest Hill Association lifted hammers and saws on weekends in 1919, and current residents today keep the Tudorish structure in excellent repair.

From "Here Today, San Francisco's Architectural Heritage" by the Junior League of San Francisco in 1968: "The facade [...] is more restrained than Maybeck's other works, but the interior is Maybeck at his best. The high ceiling with its massive beam work is one of the architect's most inspiring."

PLEASE NOTE: The Western Neighborhoods Project has no information about rentals of the Forest Hill Clubhouse, please call the Forest Hill Association at 415-664-0542
