"In 1929, Methodist philanthropist Lizzie Glide purchased a parcel of land at the intersection of Ellis and Taylor Streets in San Francisco and founded the Glide Foundation as a memorial to her millionaire cattleman husband, H. L. Glide of Sacramento. Construction of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church was completed two years later. Glide purchased the Hotel Californian two blocks away and it was operated as a temperance hotel for decades. The foundation also built a dormitory for Christian women at U. C. Berkeley and a home for young working Christian women at 403 Taylor Street (formerly Hotel Californian). "In 1966, the board merged the staff of the church and the urban center. The Rev. John Moore who was the pastor of the church at the time, helped church staff become part of the Glide Urban Center. The Rev. Cecil Williams began leading the congregation when he "took over a small congregation and opened it to the neighborhood's poor and disenfranchised including drug addicts, prostitutes and gay runaways" (as summarized later by the San Francisco Chronicle).
