Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton

The Main Building at Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton, is recognizable by its graceful mansard roof and central bell tower. This structure, the first built on the sixty-three-acre campus, was designed by the Irish-immigrant architect Charles Devlin and opened its doors in eighteen ninety-eight. It remains the architectural centerpiece of the grounds, having withstood both the nineteen oh six and nineteen eighty-nine earthquakes.
