Goodbye
Zakheim June 9, 2020 -- Among my fond memories of studenthood at UCSF are the WPA-era murals by Bernard Zakheim in UCSF's Toland Hall. One of my classes was in this hall and it was a joy to attend. Toland Hall is in the handsome but obsolete UC Hospital building on the Parnassus campus. UCSF plans to demolish the building and replace it with one that's up-to-date, seismically safe and, alas, mural-less. Preserving them would cost millions and the money is just not there. Here are my photos of these stupendous works. Go see them for yourself while you still can! |
