The award recipient is Candra Scott.
The Beach Chalet Murals
Painted in 1936 by Lucien Labaudt, these murals of life and leisure in San Francisco were restored by Anne Rosenthal (r.), working with the San Francisco Arts Commission.
U.S. Post Office, St. Helena
 This outstanding example of WPA construction
has an exterior bas-relief with transportation motifs. Insice is a charming mural of wine-making in the nearby Napa valley.
The award recipient is postmaster Peter Mennan (r.), who overcame a threatened modernization and applied for landmark status.
Ideal Cleaners, 14th St., Oakland
 This is a beautiful example of '30s commercial
architecture that has been well-maintained, and so has lost none of its
details -- including the colored-glass facade and the original neon sign.
TAP Plastics Building, San Francisco
 An intriguing vintage storefront for a building that still sells practically everything in plastics. The facade is graced with tilework; the neon sign has been reproduced, based on its original appearance; and (rare in commercial buildings) the interior design harmonizes with the Deco aesthetics outside.
The Recorder Building - South Van Ness Ave., San Francisco
 Subsequently redeveloped inside as the city's flagship Goodwill store, this building still evokes the Moderne style in which it was built.
Richard ("Mr. Rick") Fishman
 A special award. Rick Fishman has long brought Deco to life in San Francisco: as a shopkeeper (As Time Goes By), musician (The Martini Brothers), and as founder of the popular "Mr. Rick's Martini Club" dinner-dances. He lives -- where else? -- in a Deco-era apartment in the (1999 ADSC Award-winning) Bellevue-Staten building.
