Episode Synopsis

There are so many buildings named after people whom we have no idea ever existed, and that's why we're focusing this week's episode on women who have a building named after them. Amy tells us about Juana Briones, a Californio ranchera, medical practitioner, and merchant, often remembered as the "Founding Mother of San Francisco." Shelby discusses Mary Stone McLendon (aka Ataloa), a concert vocalist, teacher, humanitarian, and American Indian culture preservationist.
