| Old St Hilarys Church | Old St Hilarys is situated on
a hillside overlooking Belvedere and the San Francisco skyline. This simple
redwood structure, built in 1888, is surrounded by a rare wildflower preserve.
It is one of the few carpenter Gothic churches to survive in its original
setting. The simple white painted exterior encloses interior walls of redwood
and Douglas fir, and historic oak pews. The interior is lit by replicas
of the original oil-burning chandeliers, and the Gothic windows of amber
glass cast a warm and inviting glow. Take your vows in an uncluttered space
that embraces you with a sense of peace and tranquility.
SS China Cabin | All that glitters is 22K gold in the SS China Cabin. Designated in 1978 as a national maritime treasure, the SS China Cabin was restored to its former splendor as a Victorian drawing room. Visitors are enchanted with the ornate and regal décor of the interior. The walls and arched ceiling have been painted a crisp white and highlighted with gold leaf. Along the sides of the Cabin are a series of small, beautifully etched glass windows; elegant crystal chandeliers illuminate the room. The Cabin also has a deck with wonderful views of the San Francisco skyline, Corinthian Island and the nearby yacht harbor. The SS China Cabin offers a rich and sophisticated setting for your rehearsal dinner, wedding or reception. Art & Garden Center | The Landmarks Art and Garden Center, a lovingly renovated historic cottage and garden from Tiburon’s earliest years, offers a unique setting for weddings and special events. The square-acre site, with dramatic views of Richardson Bay, is a garden composed of large flat lawn and four terraces joined by curving brick walkways. Throughout the garden are benches, each offering a special view of the bay and surrounding hills The landscape features heritage trees, a rose arbor, colorful floral beds and a pagoda birdhouse. Nestled in the garden is the restored farm house, built in the 1870s when Tiburon was a bustling railroad terminal. The gray shingle clad cottage features two sun-filled rooms, highlighted by an original wood burning stove. Just outside is an 1890 fire-school bell that is rung for celebrations. This is just another one of the unique touches that contribute to the site’s historic charm. |
