Bancroft Dance Studio occupies the former property of the First Unitarian Church. The expanding University of California acquired the Unitarian Church property in 1960, and the congregation moved to Kensington the following year. The Berkeley parish house and auxiliary structure were razed in 1965 to clear land for the Zellerbach Auditorium and Playhouse complex. The church building was retained and has been converted into the Dramatic Arts Department’s dance facility.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. NRHP # 81000143
