Add historic landmark designation to John Haley Studio at 771 Ocean Avenue
In Plain English
The 1932 John Haley Studio served as home and workspace for an influential UC Berkeley art professor who helped create the "Berkeley School" painting style. The building features Second Bay Tradition architecture and a 1949 addition designed by respected architect Roger Lee. If approved, the landmark designation protects the property's historic character while allowing continued residential use.
