The Castro Theatre, the Telephone Building, 450 Sutter- these masterpieces of San Francisco´s Art Deco heritage are the work of one man: Timothy Pflueger. An immigrant´s son with only a high school education, Pflueger entered the architectural profession after San Francisco´s 1906 earthquake. While his contemporaries looked to Beaux-Arts traditions to rebuild the city, he brought exotic Mayan, Egyptian, and other Moderne forms to buildings ranging from luxurious cocktail lounges to the city´s first skyscrapers.
