The Women's Building, Mission District
One of the dramatic buildings in the Mission District is the Women's Building on 18th Street. The building is covered with murals in the style of Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, and took a team of seven women artists two years to complete. The building was purchased from the Sons of Norway in 1979 and serves as a multi-service community center for women and addresses women's issues including child care, sexual assault, equality, and economic security.
