INGLESIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND THE GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES – Assessor’s Block 6942, Lot 050 (District 13) - Consideration to Initiate Landmark Designation of the Ingleside Presbyterian Church & Community Center and The Great Cloud of Witnesses. As an individual Article 10 Landmark pursuant to Section 1004.1 of the Planning Code. Located on the south east corner of Ocean Avenue and Granada Avenue, the building is architecturally significant as the work of San Francisco master architect, Joseph Leonard, who designed the Neoclassical building in 1923. The church is also significant for its interior “collage-mural,” and folk artist’s environment, entitled The Great Cloud of Witnesses. Begun in 1980, the mural is a 35-year work-in-progress, created by church pastor Reverend Roland Gordon, to inspire the community and to highlight the accomplishments of African Americans.
