We imagine change in historic and contemporary environments to cultivate thriving, sustainable, and resilient communities.
California was an important place for Martin Luther King in his pursuit of equality through non-violence. He visited the state often, and his influence and impact are undeniable. Some of the highlights of his California trips include:
1956 / San Francisco to give a speech to the NAACP at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
1958 / Cal Tech where he had a three-day residency and gave three speeches
1963 / Oakland to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation with a speech to 7,000 people at the Oakland Civic Auditorium
1964 / Fresno and San Diego to protest a California housing law that made it legal for landlords to discriminate based on race
1965 / Los Angeles to promote nonviolence and reconciliation following the Watts Riots
1965 / San Francisco to speak at the opening of Grace Cathedral
1967 / UC Berkeley and Stanford University where he laid out his “radical vision for genuine equality” in a pair of speeches
1967 / Sacramento State College where he gave a speech to 7,000 people at Campus Stadium
1968 / Delano where King sent two telegrams to Cesar Chavez in support of his hunger strike; King never met Cesar Chavez
This is a sample of the many visits Dr. King made to California. Certainly, his truths live on, and our responsibility is to carry them forward.

Year-end is a great time to look back over 365 days of accomplishments! As we near the close of 2024, we’d like to share some of the transformative projects and moments that helped to shape Page & Turnbull.
This year, we’ve been grateful to have been selected for many wonderful projects including the rehabilitation of Young Korean Academy in Los Angeles, on teams as preservation architect for City College of San Francisco’s Science Hall and for Monterey Art Museum, and cultural resources studies at Brandy Station Battlefield in Virginia.
Excellence is in our DNA, and we’re honored that 16 of our projects—including St. Clare in Sacramento, The Cheech in Riverside, and UCLA’s Nimoy Theater in Los Angeles—received award from AIA California, California Preservation Foundation, the Los Angeles Business Journal, SCUP, APA, ENR, among others.
We had many milestone moments including the groundbreaking of Azusa Schoolhouse, adoption of the Sacramento LGBTQ+ Experience Historic Context Statement, receiving federal historic tax credits for UC Law/100 McAllister, and the opening of Glenn County Courthouse in Willows and the St. Clare—and affordable transitional housing development in Sacramento.
And we welcomed four new professionals to Page & Turnbull rounding our talent in San Francisco and Los Angeles!
