  VLN: S.F. Architecture 1910-1912
One of the Bay Area's greatest architectural monuments, this church is Maybeck's masterpiece, showing his ability to combine such unrelated styles as Gothic and Oriental with an admixture of Romanesque and Craftsman.
His contributions to domestic design are outstanding and his efforts in architectural education noteworthy; but it is the Christian Science church, with its masterly handling of space, structure, color and light, that wins immediate admiration from lay and professional viewers.
His lack of preconceived architectural solutions to the problems he faced coupled with his complete domination of every detail of the basic structure, mechanical systems, and furnishings of the church helped create a building noteworthy in the history of American architecture (Cardwell 1977: 122-30).
