History
The Romanesque Revival structure was built in 1906 and designed by architect John J. Foley; it once served as both the Catholic church and a school.[5] Most of the parishioners at the time of founding were Irish, and by 1979, most of the parishioners were Filipino.[5] The building was damaged after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.[5]
In 2018, the 22,000-square-foot building was renovated and re-imaged as the Saint Joseph's Arts Society run by the Saint Joseph's Arts Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) subscriber-based arts center led by Ken Fulk.[3][5][6]
