2020-006641DES:  533 Parnassus Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel No. 2634A, Lot 011 (Districts 5 and 7) – Consideration to Recommend to the Board of Supervisors designation of the “History of Medicine in California” frescoes in the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Toland Hall as an individual Article 10 Landmark pursuant to Section 1004.2 of the Planning Code. The “History of Medicine in California” frescoes consist of ten panels painted on the walls of Toland Hall auditorium by artist Bernard Zakheim between 1935 and 1938. The “History of Medicine in California” frescoes were initiated for designation by the Board of Supervisors on July 16, 2020 (See BoS File No. 200677). The murals are significant for their association with the history of the Works Project Administration’s Federal Art Project, a New Deal program designed to employ artists and fund visual art in the United States, for their depiction of California medical history with vivid, diverse images of doctors, lab scientists, and other medical professionals, and of suffering and recovered patients, and as an excellent example of New Deal-era progressive mural artwork of master artist and muralist, Bernard Zakheim. The subject property is in a Public (P) Zoning District and a 130-D Height and Bulk District.
