Damage from the Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989 forced The Archdiocese of San Francisco to seek temporary housing for St. Mary’s Chinese School. Mock/Wallace assisted in the search for a new site for the school.
The historic Our Lady of Guadalupe Church above the Broadway tunnel was vacant and available and we determined it would be suitable. Given a new purpose as a temporary location for the School, the sanctuary and community room was converted into nine classrooms, offices, library and new toilets. The historic interiors including the altar and chapels were preserved for a future restoration. Work included seismic upgrade, historic preservation, and appearances before the SF Planning Commission and State Landmarks Board.
