Hey! It’s me again. I heard that the United Nations considered building the UN HQ Building really close to where I live. The location is called Strawberry Point it’s in Marin County, CA. Let me know if you’re able to find anything. Thanks!
Sort of. The United Nations Charter was agreed at a conference in San Francisco, and so the planners of the future United Nations envisioned that the site of future UNHQ might be at the nearby Strawberry Point. However, shortly thereafter the Rockefeller family donated land in New York’s midtown east to the project that would eventually become UNHQ.
You can read about those decisions in the following links:
