Old St. Mary's Cathedral
Old St. Mary's Parish
San Francisco, California

Built in 1854, Old St. Mary's Cathedral is one of the oldest brick masonry buildings in San Francisco, surviving the 1906 earthquake. The building is a State and City Landmark and figures prominently in the city’s history.

ARG is providing architectural, conservation, and planning services for rehabilitation of the cathedral. This multi-phase project has included preparation of exterior restoration guidelines and the seismic strengthening of the unreinforced-masonry structure. The first phase, consisting of the majority of the cathedral’s seismic upgrade, was recently completed. Future phases include full completion of the seismic upgrade, ADA and life-safety upgrades, and exterior architectural rehabilitation and interior improvements.
