SAH/SCC
goes to the Inland Empire to learn about the life and work of Peter J. Weber (1893-1983).
We’ll get a special tour of the architect’s work on the Mission Inn (Arthur B. Benton,
1903 and 1910; Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey, 1914; G. Stanley Wilson, 1932) in Riverside
as well as a tour of the home Weber built for himself (1932-1938).
Weber was born in San Francisco to first-generation
immigrants from Luxembourg and Ireland. He worked as a junior draftsman
for a series of notable architects in San Francisco including John Galen Howard, Albert Pissis, William B. Faville, Willis Polk, and Julia Morgan. He studied at the Wilmerding School of Industrial
Arts and took part in San Francisco Architectural Club’s atelier program, where he learned the beaux-arts process and style from local architects who had
studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
In 1918, Weber settled in Riverside,
and worked in the office of G. Stanley Wilson as lead designer and photographer.
The design for his own home is eclectic and features salvaged materials.
Participants will meet at the Mission
Inn for a walking tour, then drive themselves for a special tour of the Weber House,
which has been under the stewardship of the Old Riverside Foundation since 1990.
