Clarence A. Tantau (1884-1943)
Clarence Tantau was a San Francisco Bay Area architect for nearly 30 years. Tantau's practice was primarily residential, and
included homes in Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, Santa Cruz, and the Monterey Peninsula. He also designed the Monterey Peninsula
Country Club and the Pasatiempo Clubhouse in Santa Cruz. Tantau is best known for his Spanish style architecture, which he
employed frequently in both residential and commercial designs. He was a member of the Northern California Chapter of the
American Institute of Archives and the State Association of California Architects.
The Clarence A. Tantau collection consists primarily of residential drawings produced between 1921 and 1939. Locations include
Atherton, Berkeley, Hillsborough, Monterey, Moss Beach, Pebble Beach, Piedmont, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. Non-residential
drawings in the collection include the Monterey Peninsula Country Club (1925) and the Pasatiempo Clubhouse (1930). A project
list is available in the Archives.
