Overview

The five-story Bohemian Club Building had an understated aesthetic derived from Georgian Revival townhouses, synthesized with decorative details reflective of the Mediterranean Revival (spandrel brickwork) and contemporary Art Deco movements.

Building Notes

Sculptor Haig Patigian designed the bronze planter boxes on the Bohemian Club's exterior. Patigian had served as President of the Bohemian Club in 1920-1922.

In 1935, Marshall Dill was the president, Charles F. Bulotti, vice-president, Lowell E. Hardy, secretary, George R. Keast, treasurer, and Charles M. Crabb, manager of the Bohemian Club. A Bohemian Club parking garage stood at 375 O'Farrell Street at that time. (See San Francisco, California, City Directory, 1935, p. 140.)
