St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1910
June 16, 1907, this church was officially organized by the Presbytery. Services were held temporarily in Stiles Hall (the University YMCA) until all the structures needed to serve the church could be built. The final stage of construction included the sanctuary and was completed in 1910. The buildings were designed by the architect, Julia Morgan. In 1955, the growing congregation bought another property, located one block to the north at 2727 College Avenue. Here it constructed a fellowship hall and adjoining classrooms, which it occupied in 1965. In 1968, a bequest from Dr. Howard Campbell allowed the congregation to build a new sanctuary, completed in 1975. Samuel Scripps, founder of the American Society for Eastern Arts (ASEA), bought the building in 1974. By 1977, the building’s use as an arts center became more focused. It was named the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts in 1980 and later the Julia Morgan Theater.
