Steilberg, an associate of Julia Morgan, created a distinguished example of the area's internationally known Arts and Crafts movement. After hosting the Phi MU Sorority (1960-1990) the building was closed for refurbishing and retrofitting. Four years later the Bancroft Hotel was opened. The Hotel is a National Register Landmark.
