Architecture Groups San Francisco

From Walking with a Guide (Nature,Architecture,History)

PARKING tips! Parking is not a big problem where we are meeting. (No parking restrictions on weekends, but check the signs.) The higher up the hill you go the more available parking. There are three parts to today's tour. We'll do an hour or so of the Haight's Victorians and local history, like where the bands lived, and the counter-culture movement here. There was a Calif.League professional baseball park on Stanyan bet. Haight & Waller in 1890. (Then the Hippies of the 1960s) We'll take a walk down Haight St. to recall the counter-culture movement and hippie days of the 1960/70s. (If you want to take a deep dive into what happened in SF in those days, [click here](https://sfplanning.org/project/citywide-historic-context-statement#completed) and once there, look on the right side under the *Cultural heading* and click, "*Citywide Historic Context Statement for Counter-Culture (1965-1975)*, Third we'll walk into the eastern end of GG Park for a walk and a little touring there. **We'll stop at the Music Concourse Bandshell for lunch.** [The concert starts at 1:00pm and is a good one today.](https://goldengateparkband.org/calendar) Total distance about four miles. When we stop at the Music Concourse band shell for lunch, I always get the clam chowder from Sam's Chowder House food truck. (highly recommended) It always seems most attendees go their separate way from here. There's a lot going on at this location, two museums, Japanese Tea House, SF Botanical Garden, Stowe Lake etc. It's popular to take a tour of the SF Botanical Garden from here and/or you are welcome to head back with me from here after the Concert ends at 2:30pm. (Please don't be a no-show.) It's good to give out name tags which I do. I'll fill out the name tags just before I leave for the tour. This also gives me an opportunity to take attendance. Name tags that are not picked up, are recorded as no-shows. (Be sure to pick up your name tag.) If you get too many no-shows recorded in your personal Meet-up profile, you'll have to be cancelled from this Meetup. Also booking multiple Meetup Events on the same day and time is cause for immediate cancellation. (To cancel your Event RSVP in advance, look for the, **"Edit Attendance"** tab at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.) The Victorians in the Haight are some of the most elaborate in San Francisco. All the neighborhoods in SF have histories that are fun to learn of. What follows goes into the research done for the tour. It may be of interest if you like the details? For a detailed history of about six Victorian houses near the tour, click the link, [(Detailed info 1071 Page St. & 21 Baker St.)](https://archive.org/details/victorianallianc00unse_13/page/6/mode/2up?view=theater) etc. Additionally the Victorian Alliance of SF, archive link, also has two pages of history, each, about the following houses along or near our route: 23 Baker St. 110 Lyon St. 1283 Page St. 1461 Page St. There are ten officially designated city and national landmarks in the area. 301 Lyon, Clunie House 1111 Oak, Phelps House 1153 Oak, Mish House Stanyan Park Hotel The Four Seansons Painted Ladies on Waller St. bet. Masonic & Delmar. Northwest corner at 1410 Haight St. (Location of one of the first head shops. An historic site, designated as a national landmark, now donated and maintained by a non-profit.) **\*Don't be a no-show. *See the Group's no-show policy below.*** Don't be a no-show and lose your membership in the Group. *Attendance is always taken and no-shows recorded.* The Haight, historically called an "electric streetcar suburb", was least affected by the '06 earthquake and fires. And was almost fully built out by then. Imagine what it must have been like when there were row after row, of these new, exuberant creations. Sparkling new in the bright San Francisco sunshine. Baseball was being played at a baseball stadium at Stanyon & Haight, starting in 1885, for the California Baseball League. Roughly over 48,000 Victorians were built in SF, (1860s to 1890s), with about a third remaining. Bay Area entrepreneurship with the wealth of the best building material, old growth **redwood**, a driving force? *The information below is provided if you are interested in more details about SF Victorian architecture.* **Looking at a San Francisco Victorian, what to look for:** *(There are five Styles)* 1. Flat front Italianate- (earliest Victorians). (French 2nd Empire appear) 2. Italianate with slanted bay windows. 3. San Francisco Stick Style (also called East Lake). Simpler square bay windows now used. Overall much more elaborate decoration, ornament and gingerbread used. 4. Queen Anne Tower House&Witches Cap, with angled or rounded bay windows & front gable 5. Queen Anne Row House, 1, 1-1/2 or two stories. Large front gable. Possible moongate entry. Features & "Gingerbread" Type of Entry & Doorway(maybe a rounded or partial Moongate entry)- Decorative Ironwork- Floral Decor-Garlands (one of many types of decorations known as \*"Gingerbread") Fish scale&Diamond shingles- Towers & Witch's Cap- Stained Glass or Beveled Glass- Carvings of grotesque faces- Sunbursts- often painted gold, half or full. Gables (Queen Anne's) in a variety of material- (mainly redwood) Newel Posts and Finials on Tower tops and roof peaks- [If you would like a scholarly and detailed explanation with photos, click.](https://sfplanning.org/sites/default/files/documents/preserv/bulletins/HistPres_Bulletin_18.PDF)

Mansions in Pacific Heights-SF Tour-Alta Plaza Pk.to Lafayette Pk.

Sun, Sep 6, 5:30 PM

From Walking with a Guide (Nature,Architecture,History)

**\*Don't be a no-show. *See the Group's no-show policy below.*** Don't be a no-show and lose your membership in the Group. Attendance is always taken and no-shows recorded. **We are meeting on the sidewalk at the intersection of Jackson St. & Pierce St., SF, along the north-side of Alta Plaza Park.** (There is a restroom near the top of the Park.) There is available free **parking** around the neighborhood and no restriction on weekends/holidays.The streets immediately around the park are a good place to start. The tour is a little longer than in the past with some new additions as we may make our way from the far west side of the tour at Vallejo & Normandie (where photo above was taken) to Lafayette Park to the east and return to where we started. (Unless lunch intervenes as we cross Fillmore on the return.) After the tour visit Fillmore St. where there are lots of shops, restaurants, coffee houses, bars and bakeries. You're welcome to join for lunch. My go to place is, La Mediterranee other places, Mayflower Market for sandwiches, Janes across the street at Fillmore & Sacramento St. If you have a problem maintaining your social calendar, please be advised! *(Don't be a no-show.)* It's nice to give out name tags which I do. I fill out the name tags just before I leave for the tour. This also gives me a way to take attendance. Name tags that are not picked up, are recorded as no-shows. If you get too many no-shows recorded in your personal Meet-up profile you'll have to be cancelled from this Meetup. (To cancel your RSVP beforehand (please at least 24 hrs.), look for the, **"Edit Attendance"** tab at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.) About midway through the tour we'll stop for a break atop Lafayette Park. The strange 19th century tale of Samuel Holladay and how he got away with building his mansion on the highest point in Pacific Hts., even though his residential real estate "empire", **was atop and within Lafayette Park**. This is a true tale and will be told with some of the old photos. They'll be restrooms at the Park and views and we'll describe the surrounding heritage Victorian houses as time allows, but making our way back through some of the best examples of remaining Victorians in SF. Pacific Heights is best known for being one of the most affluent neighborhoods in San Francisco. This tour highlights the architecture, and some of the people who built, occupied and maintained these grand properties. About 30 of which will be on our tour with some information about each property. The walking tour is 3 miles. With the usual SF hills. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Looking at a San Francisco Victorian, what to look for:** *(There are five Styles)* 1.

Duboce Park SF Victorian & History Tour

Sun, Oct 25, 5:30 PM

From Walking with a Guide (Nature,Architecture,History)

**Taking MUNI which stops very close by, highly recommended.** Parking, directly **adjacent to Duboce Park** is a good possibility. Also Googling "find parking in the Duboce Triangle" will show parking lots in the area. *I think this tour will be marvelous in a sometimes overlooked part of the Lower Haight/Hayes Valley neighborhoods. It is a good example of an old, small, SF neighborhood. Try to make it, despite the parking challenge!* But take MUNI. *The Reveille Cafe at the corner of Steiner & Waller, where we meet, is very good, excellent for brunch.* The tour will start near Duboce Park and include, Waller St., Carmelita, Pierce, Potomac, then, Walter, Henry and Beaver Sts. SF Builder, Fernando Nelson's Carmelita St. stands out in a neighborhood of beautifully authentic Victorians. Nelson retired as San Francisco's most prolific builder, producing some 4,000 homes, during the years he worked with his sons, from 1876 until his death in 1953. After the Victorian Era he created developments in the Richmond, Presidio Terrace and West Portal, among others. [For a biography of F. Nelson, click.](https://outsidelands.org/nelson.php) The photo above is of #78 Carmelita St. a house almost identical to Nelson's family house at 701 Castro St. Roughly over 48,000 Victorians were built in SF, (1860s to 1890s), with about a third remaining.
