Some are Victorian painted ladies, still holding court on steep and narrow streets. Others blend organically into the hillsides or reflect the bay in their banks of windows. Bernard (history, Corinthian Colleges, Inc.) perceives these buildings as regional artifacts from their construction as early as the mid-1850s to the beginnings of the Bay Tradition from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. He also analyzes the modern pastoral of the Bay Tradition and the International style as expressed in the era of modernism, and the new artifacts that help define the old from the 1940s to the 1970s. One of the most interesting passages compares the Bay Tradition to forms of modernism expressed in other regions. Bernard supplies snapshots of archetypal buildings for each era.
