[|Julia Morgan] (b. San Francisco, California 1872; d. 1957) - Julia Morgan graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with an engineering degree, and studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Morgan's buildings are distinguished by her client centered approach to design, her use of locally available materials, and her integration of the varied architectural traditions. Although Morgan's buildings do not reflect one definitive style, they all exhibit a fine attention to detail and a craftsmanlike quality of construction.

She designed many buildings for institutions serving women and girls including YWCA buildings and buildings for Mills College. She is best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Her work includes
