Architectural Heritage Tour of Presidio Heights, San Francisco

This tour highlights not only the diversity of the architecture, but also the mix of architects and people who built, occupied and maintained these grand properties. About 18 of which are on our tour today.
I also have some ephemera we can see to get a feel for what life was like here about ninety years ago.

The walking tour covers approximately 15 blocks (3.0 - 4.0 miles of walking). Afterwards there are a couple of interesting dining spots at Divisadero and California Sts., Patisserie & Dynasty Dumpling. Both are good options for lunch. Lots of walking today, but mostly level.
(On Sundays we'll pass by the Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco at the end of our walk. A weekly Sunday tour of this early Arts & Crafts gem is offered at 1:00pm.)
We're meeting at the intersection of Baker St & Vallejo. Ample parking on the nearby streets.
Please ask guests to join the Meetup.

Here are several photos, including inside the house at Presidio and Pacific, the house pictured above.

Popular architectural styles in the early development of Presidio Hts.- At the time of its development around 1905, the brown shingle, Arts & Crafts style was popular. Known as the First Bay Traditional or Regional style we'll see this style in evidence at the beginning of the tour.
1895 the 1910 Edwardian and Colonial Revival: The continued elaboration of ornament and facade shapes reached its height in the early 1890s at the end of the Victorian era. After that there was a gradual move towards simplicity and away from excess and toward, order. Eccentricity gave way to strict conventions, quiet lines and understated quality materials. Money now made understatement its chief method of display. Style was no longer measured in pounds of gingerbread ornament per square foot, but in elegant proportions and an air of restfulness.
