After the tour I interviewed one of the docents named Noel Rain. She has lived in Marin County for over forty years and has been a docent at the civic center for over ten years. This is what she had to say
What is your favorite part of the Civic Center?
"Well personally I like the conservatory and the library too because it's really for the community."
I feel like the only thing people hear about the Civic Center is that it's a Frank Lloyd Wright building.If you could let people know one thing about Civic Center besides that what would it be?
"That it is timeless and futuristic Frank was way ahead of his time and he created something that is very calm and relaxed while still being functional"
What is your favorite piece of History about the Civic Center?
"Well probably the distance from one place to another many decisions and deals have been made right here on these walkways
What is the craziest thing that you have ever seen happen here?
"Once about seven years ago while I was leading a tour and a man down on the first level had a heart attack. That was probably the craziest thing I've ever seen here."
