places, structures and objects through education, advocacy, and events. We are a local

to preserve our collective cultural heritage. We convene to openly discuss the issues
most relevant and critical, and to advise the Chapter on resolutions requiring action. We
actively seek to cooperate with allied organizations to promote our collective ideologies

MANUELPALOS
SCULPTURE
TOUR
Join us for a tour of sculptor Manuel Palos’ studio. With more than 30 years
of experience in custom sculpture, architectural restoration and conservation
projects, Manuel’s work can be found internationally from private commissions
to major public placements. Originally from Zacatecas, Mexico, he came to work
on the restoration of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Since then he has
become well-known for his many commissions, including several projects for the
City and County of San Francisco. His work has included the restoration of the
mythological figures at the Legion of Honor, sculpting the eight Eagles atop the
Pacific Telephone Building, and many other projects.
“For over 25 years Palos has left his indelible, anonymous mark
on dozens of icons throughout the city, re-creating and restoring
precious architectural and sculptural details that, without his
unusual skills, would have long ago fallen into disrepair.”
