A National Park Service review sheet in the document questions whether the exceptional significance required for a property under 50 years of age is justified.","narrative":"This corner building at Haight and Ashbury Streets in San Francisco combines a single-family residence with storefronts below. The house was built in 1903, then raised about six feet in 1907 so shops could be built at street level. A separate commercial building with three shops was added to the west the same year. The residence has shiplap siding, a dentillated crown molding, a hipped roof with dormers and Palladian windows, and its interior retains fireplaces, pocket doors and a staircase. The corner storefront keeps original saloon windows, and the 1506 Haight shop front is original to 1907. The nomination argues the property matters for its architecture, described as a rare mixed-use form of Colonial Revival, and for its link to the 1960s Hippie Movement in the neighborhood that takes its name from this intersection. The period of significance runs from 1903 to 1969. Federal reviewers questioned whether its role in 1960s events was exceptional enough to justify the listing.","period_of_significance":"1903-1969","architect_builder":"Doolan, Frank T., architectural draftsperson","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival, (20th Century)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Ground-level spaces are used as shops and the upper level as a residence; the storefronts were restored in 1984-85.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.798905-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/09001201.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09001201/a98f22c738-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09001201/a98f22c738-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Richard_P._Doolan_Residence_and_Storefronts,_557_Ashbury_St._%26_1500_Haight_St.,_San_Francisco,_CA_3-4-2012_4-03-43_PM.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Richard_P._Doolan_Residence_and_Storefronts,_557_Ashbury_St._%26_1500_Haight_St.,_San_Francisco,_CA_3-4-2012_4-03-43_PM.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"04001137","name":"Golden Gate Park","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/california/golden-gate-park-04001137/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861087","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133464378"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-francisco/doolan-richard-p-residence-and-storefronts-09001201/"}
