Help Create an Architectural Walking Tour for the Southeast side of the Mission

Details

Once the plan is finalized, the first Mission-Southeast, Meetup event, is scheduled for, Tues., June 3rd. :click for link:

Help create using the info gathered on this Event, a mainly Victorian, heritage, architectural walking tour of the Southeast Mission District.
We'll very much narrow down the exact location from, between 20th & 26th, from Shotwell to Vermont. (I especially like the tree lined streets.)

This is a very interesting neighborhood that will be fun to explore and discover the ins and outs and architectural pathway.
Join me in reviewing the old and new maps and guidebooks to put together the architectural gems out there waiting to be discovered and organized into a comprehensive walking tour.
What do the Victorian houses look like out there. Will we find the remnants of an 06', "earthquake cottage" somewhere out there?
Let's meet a little ahead of time to review the maps and old and new guidebooks and plan a route. Then we'll give our new route a try and see what we find. The photo above is an Earthquake Cottage in Bernal Hts. Maybe we'll find one like it in the Mission. There is a photo below of how the cottages were used in Delores Park after the 06' Earthquake.

The SF Planning Dept., has done extensive studies of the history, buildings and architecture of several City neighborhoods. For example, the Bayview Hunters Point Area B Historic Context statement is a 182 page study with many photographs and building listings documenting this area.
An excellent Historic Context statement exists for the Mission districts which will add greatly to knowledge of this area. For a deep dive into detailed SF neighborhood history click the link above.
In regard to all the very old SF photos and maps used here. Being well over 100 yrs. old there are no copyrights permitted on these photos.
I want to acknowledge the City of SF employees and consultants who put together the Historic Context Statements mentioned above, where all the old photos I've used here, came from.
As far as the recent photos: these came from an article in Mission Local, reporting on the 06' earthquake commemoration ceremonies.
