Mission District(Southeast), Victorian Architecture and a Brief History


Details
(Photo above: an Omnibus Co. horse drawn streetcar, runs on Howard Street, in front of grand homes, 1886. Horse drawn street cars started running in the Mission in the 1850s.)
Enjoy a Victorian heritage, architectural walking tour, for the Southeast Mission District. Locations from between 20th & 26th, from Shotwell to Vermont. (I love old tree lined streets.) This is a very interesting neighborhood that will be fun to explore and discover the ins and outs and architectural pathways.
What do the Victorian houses look like out there? In every neighborhood in SF the Victorians differ.
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.
