framed by 16 exquisite grand-scaled Corinthian columns- creating an
extraordinarily dramatic entrance into the residence. This double story open-air

garden adorned with Grecian-style frescoes. This creates a harmonious outdoor
extension of the interior spaces, ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand
celebrations.

dining/ entertaining space with patina-ed cement stone flooring is crowned by
high ceilings punctuated with the original fresco-ed beams, and features an
imposing wood-burning fireplace with marble and wrought iron detailing. Nine
glass sliding doors plus a double French door flood the space with natural light
while framing the lushly verdant surrounding and smoothly continuing the indoor/

THE HISTROY

Temple of Wings is a historic Greco-Roman style private estate located at 2800
Buena Vista Way in the La Loma Park neighborhood of Berkeley, California. The
main structure was designed by Bernard Maybeck and completed by A. Randolph
Monro. It was originally designed as an open-air private home dedicated to
modern and contemporary dance. It has been listed by the city as a Berkeley
Landmark (no. 173) since January 6, 1992, and is listed in the California State
Historic Resources Inventory. It is known as the Temple of Wings, the Boynton
House, and the Charles C. Boynton House.

Temple of Wings was originally the home of attorney Charles Calvin Boynton, his
wife Florence Treadwell Boynton, and their eight children. Florence Treadwell
Boynton was “California’s chief exponent of rhythmic gymnastics,” and promoted
“open air motherhood,” a parenting philosophy that maximized children’s outdoor
time. She was a childhood friend and admirer of Isadora Duncan. Boynton created
a home and a dance school that reflected Duncan’s philosophies. The estate was
passed down for at least four generations of the Boynton family (later known as
the Quitzow and Braun family), and was last sold in 1994 to the Getty family.

It was originally designed and constructed as a Greco-Roman colonnaded open-air
private residence by architect Bernard Maybeck in 1911. The project was
completed in 1914 by Arthur Randolph Monro, and it featured hung canvas in lieu
of walls.

Clarence Dakin and Edna Deakin remodeled the building in 1924, after the
building had caught fire the year prior. During the remodel, they added an
enclosed house inside of the colonnade with two levels, and the first level had
multiple rooms dedicated as dance studios.

Philanthropists Ann and Gordon Getty acquired the Temple of the Wings property
in 1994, returning it to its roots with furnishing from the British and American
Arts and Crafts movement and Pre-Raphalite painting. During their ownership, the
home was meticulously maintained within the historic nature of its origin. C/O -

THE ARCHITECT

Bernard Ralph Maybeck (February 7, 1862 – October 3, 1957) was an American
architect in the Arts and Crafts Movement of the early 20th century. He worked
primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area, designing public buildings, including
the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and also private houses, especially in
Berkeley, where he lived and taught at the University of California. A number of
his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Maybeck was born in New York City, the son of a German immigrant and studied at
the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, France. He moved to Berkeley, California, in
1892. He taught engineering drawing and architectural design at the University
of California, Berkeley from 1894 to 1903, and acted as a mentor for a number of
other important California architects, including Julia Morgan and William
Wurster. In 1951, he was awarded the Gold Medal of the American Institute of
Architects.[citation needed]

Maybeck was equally comfortable producing works in the American Craftsman,
Mission Revival, Gothic revival, Arts and Crafts, and Beaux-Arts styles,
believing that each architectural problem required development of an entirely
new solution. While working in the office of A. Page Brown in San Francisco,
Maybeck probably contributed to the Mission Style California Building at the
1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the designers of the
San Francisco Swedenborgian Church, which included the first Mission Style
chair. For the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, he designed the
domed Palace of Fine Arts and also the “House of Hoo Hoo”, a “lumberman’s lodge”
made of rough-barked tree trunks. The Palace of Fine Arts was seen as the
embodiment of Maybeck’s elaboration of how Roman architecture could fit within a
California context. Maybeck said that the popular success of the Palace was due
to the absence of a roof connecting the rotunda to the art gallery building,
along with the absence of windows in the gallery walls and the presence near the
rotunda of trees, flowers and a water feature. In 1928, he designed the Harrison
Memorial Library in Carmel in a Spanish Eclectic style.

In his long-time home city of Berkeley, the 1910 First Church of Christ,
Scientist, Berkeley is designated a National Historic Landmark and is considered
one of his masterpieces.  In 1911, he designed “Temple of Wings” in the Berkely
Hills, an iconic Roman-stye villa. In 1914 he oversaw the building of the
Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley. On flatter sites such as the city of San
Francisco, the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, and the Loch
Lin General Plan for Principia College in Illinois, his proposals were guided by
more formal Beaux Arts planning principles.

One of Maybeck’s most interesting office buildings is the home of the Family
Service Agency of San Francisco at 1010 Gough Street, from 1928, which is on the
city’s Historic Building Register. Some of his larger residential projects,
particularly those in the Berkeley hills such as La Loma Park, have been
compared to the ultimate bungalows of the architects Greene and Greene.

Maybeck had many ideas about town planning that he elaborated throughout his
career. As a citizen of Berkeley from the 1890s, he was intimately involved in
the Hillside Club. His associations and work there helped evolve ideas about
hillside communities. Maybeck developed a number of firm beliefs in how
civilization and the land should relate to each other. Two overriding principles
would be: 1) the primacy of the landscape - geology, flora and fauna were not to
be subdued by architecture so much as enhanced by architecture 2) roads should
pattern the existing grade and not be an imposition upon it. There were other
principles he would elucidate, such as a shared public landscape, but these were
key, and helped Berkeley evolve into a paradigm for hillside living that was
organic and unique. Maybeck’s visions for communities in the East Bay were also
a conscientious counterpoint to across the bay where in San Francisco city
planning was much more conventional, forced, and regimented into expansive grids
of streets. Its grids, imposed in places on very steep grades, resulted in
extremely steep streets, sidewalks and urban transitions, some almost comically
so.

He also developed a comprehensive town plan for the company town of Brookings,
Oregon, a clubhouse at the Bohemian Grove, and many of the buildings on the
campus of Principia College in Elsah, Illinois.

A lifetime fascination with drama and the theatre can be seen in much of
Maybeck’s work. In his spare time, he was known to create costumes, and also
designed sets for the amateur productions at the Hillside Club.

Bernard Maybeck died in 1957 and is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in
Oakland, California.

ABOUT THIS


NEIGHBORHOOD

∎

North Berkeley is made up of several coveted neighborhoods such as La Loma Park,
Thousand Oaks, Northbrae, Westbrae, and The Hills–each with its unique charm.
Close to bustling Solano Avenue, the Berkeley Public Library, and the Berkeley
Gourmet District along Shattuck Avenue, these residential neighborhoods enjoy
the proximity to academic and cultural resources of nearby University of
California, and their own North Berkeley BART station. Shopping hubs, centered
around Solano Avenue and the Monterey Market, offer hyperlocal and charming
shops and restaurants. 

The homes perched on the North Berkeley Hills boast flowering hillside gardens
and a variety of architectural styles, ranging from charming bungalows to
contemporary masterpieces by notable architects. This diversity of architecture
not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal, but also reflects the rich history
and evolving character of North Berkeley. North Berkeley Hills residents can
enjoy views of the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the Golden Gate Bridge,
Alcatraz Island, and Mount Tamalpais—in fact, many properties enjoy some of the
best panoramic views in the entire Bay Area. Additionally, the area is home to
an elaborate system of walking pathways and “secret” stairs, most notably
documented in the “Berkeley and its Pathways” maps that are widely available and
inspire pedestrian shortcuts and exercise. It’s an incredibly peaceful
residential neighborhood, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of Berkeley’s
more urban areas.  

For even more incredible views plus a variety of great outdoor activities,
residents can take a short trip to nearby Tilden Regional Park. Free activities
available at Tilden Park include a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm,
and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. For a small fee, the public can
also swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round (built in 1911), enjoy
a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course, or take a ride through the trees on
the beloved, scaled-down Steam Train—a delight for young and old alike.

Central Berkeley, which includes the UC Berkeley campus, its surroundings and
the bustling downtown area, is a well-loved mecca for arts and culture, a
vibrant food and restaurant scene. It’s and yet very walkable and bikeable, with
many tree-lined streets around small to medium-sized single family homes (along
with some student housing). A great transportation system, numerous small
neighborhood parks, libraries, and a wonderful sense of community are the things
that residents here treasure, along with the easy access to hiking and biking
opportunities in Tilden Park and beyond. 

The Claremont District is divided among the original Claremont District—the
older, distinguished neighborhood from the turn of the century consisting
primarily of grand, historic and elegant homes by some of the area’s most
notable architects—and the Claremont Hills, above the Claremont Hotel. The
original Claremont neighborhood, in the more walkable lower hills close to
Rockridge, is marked by quiet tree-lined streets. Many of the homes have lush
gardens and mature trees, giving this neighborhood a distinctive, old-world
feeling with some of the Bay Area’s most desirable residences. A small shopping
area nearby features the popular Souvenir coffeeshop, a local grocery with
butcher, a flower store and some additional amenities such as access to nearby
hiking trails, bike routes, parks and the great outdoors. Higher up in the
Claremont Hills section, more contemporary custom view homes are spacious and
luxurious, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay, Bridges, and City.

West Berkeley has a variety of wonderful, one-of-a-kind and places to eat and
shop. 4th Street is a popular shopping destination, the corner of San Pablo and
Dwight offers a rich array of cafes and restaurants, as well as small shops,
artists studios and many small businesses and libraries sprinkled throughout the
area.

North Berkeley is made up of several coveted neighborhoods such as La Loma Park,
Thousand Oaks, Northbrae, Westbrae, and The Hills–each with its unique charm.
Close to bustling Solano Avenue, the Berkeley Public Library, and the Berkeley
Gourmet District along Shattuck Avenue, these residential neighborhoods enjoy
the proximity to academic and cultural resources of nearby University of
California, and their own North Berkeley BART station. Shopping hubs, centered
around Solano Avenue and the Monterey Market, offer hyperlocal and charming
shops and restaurants. 

The homes perched on the North Berkeley Hills boast flowering hillside gardens
and a variety of architectural styles, ranging from charming bungalows to
contemporary masterpieces by notable architects. This diversity of architecture
not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal, but also reflects the rich history
and evolving character of North Berkeley. North Berkeley Hills residents can
enjoy views of the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, the Golden Gate Bridge,
Alcatraz Island, and Mount Tamalpais—in fact, many properties enjoy some of the
best panoramic views in the entire Bay Area. Additionally, the area is home to
an elaborate system of walking pathways and “secret” stairs, most notably
documented in the “Berkeley and its Pathways” maps that are widely available and
inspire pedestrian shortcuts and exercise. It’s an incredibly peaceful
residential neighborhood, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of Berkeley’s
more urban areas.  

For even more incredible views plus a variety of great outdoor activities,
residents can take a short trip to nearby Tilden Regional Park. Free activities
available at Tilden Park include a beautiful botanical garden, the Little Farm,
and nearly 40 miles of scenic hiking trails. For a small fee, the public can
also swim at Lake Anza, take a spin on the Merry-Go-Round (built in 1911), enjoy
a round of golf at Tilden Park Golf Course, or take a ride through the trees on
the beloved, scaled-down Steam Train—a delight for young and old alike.

Central Berkeley, which includes the UC Berkeley campus, its surroundings and
the bustling downtown area, is a well-loved mecca for arts and culture, a
vibrant food and restaurant scene. It’s and yet very walkable and bikeable, with
many tree-lined streets around small to medium-sized single family homes (along
with some student housing). A great transportation system, numerous small
neighborhood parks, libraries, and a wonderful sense of community are the things
that residents here treasure, along with the easy access to hiking and biking
opportunities in Tilden Park and beyond. 

The Claremont District is divided among the original Claremont District—the
older, distinguished neighborhood from the turn of the century consisting
primarily of grand, historic and elegant homes by some of the area’s most
notable architects—and the Claremont Hills, above the Claremont Hotel. The
original Claremont neighborhood, in the more walkable lower hills close to
Rockridge, is marked by quiet tree-lined streets. Many of the homes have lush
gardens and mature trees, giving this neighborhood a distinctive, old-world
feeling with some of the Bay Area’s most desirable residences. A small shopping
area nearby features the popular Souvenir coffeeshop, a local grocery with
butcher, a flower store and some additional amenities such as access to nearby
hiking trails, bike routes, parks and the great outdoors. Higher up in the
Claremont Hills section, more contemporary custom view homes are spacious and
luxurious, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay, Bridges, and City.

West Berkeley has a variety of wonderful, one-of-a-kind and places to eat and
shop. 4th Street is a popular shopping destination, the corner of San Pablo and
Dwight offers a rich array of cafes and restaurants, as well as small shops,
artists studios and many small businesses and libraries sprinkled throughout the
area.
