St. Joseph's Church and Complex is a historic church built in 1906, and located at 1401–1415 Howard Street in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States.[3][4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 1982; and added to the list of San Francisco Designated Landmarks on October 5, 1980.

History

The Romanesque Revival structure was built in 1906 and designed by architect John J. Foley; it once served as both the Catholic church and a school.[5] Most of the parishioners at the time of founding were Irish, and by 1979, most of the parishioners were Filipino.[5] The building was damaged after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.[5]

In 2018, the 22,000-square-foot building was renovated and re-imaged as the Saint Joseph's Arts Society run by the Saint Joseph's Arts Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) subscriber-based arts center led by Ken Fulk.[3][5][6]
