The Marin County Civic Center, the last commission by Frank Lloyd Wright, is located in San Rafael, California. Groundbreaking for the Civic Center Administration Building took place in 1960, after Wright's death and under the watch of Wright's protégé, Aaron Green, and was completed in 1962.
The main building was designated a National Historic Landmark on July 17, 1991,[3] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places the same day, in recognition of its exceptional design. The designation came only thirty years after completion of the first phase, compared with the more usual 50-year term before a site is considered for NHL designation. It is also a California Historical Landmark, Number 999, and is, with other Wright buildings, being considered for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Great title and nice, photo. I'm assuming that is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings? I see the person jogging: That's my kind of place: walking trails and time to think and listen to music.
