San Francisco's
"painted ladies"

The US/ICOMOS Board of Trustees recently met in San Francisco to continue planning efforts for the 10th US/ICOMOS International Symposium.  The meeting was hosted by Stephen Farneth, US/ICOMOS Vice President, at the offices of his firm Architectural Resources Group (ARG) on Pier 9, The Embarcadero.  The planning meeting included presentations by The Presidio Trust, a tour of the Golden Gate Club on the Presidio grounds, where the symposium will be held, and an evening dinner at Piperade.  Scroll down for photos.
