Water records date it to 1901, though its style suggests the late 1870s to 1880s.","why_significant":"The house is a good example of the uncomplicated facade design of mid-Victorian San Francisco domestic architecture, with detailed woodwork. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. The city's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board ranked it among the six most important Victorian structures in the area.","narrative":"This two-story wood frame Italianate house, with a basement and attic, was originally at 848 Octavia Street in San Francisco's Western Addition. Its facade is rectangular and planar, with evenly spaced arched windows topped by triangular pediments, fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals, carved brackets and a decorative arched doorway. Water Department records show a connection in 1901 for William Johns, but the trim and fenestration point to the late 1870s or 1880s. The interior layout indicates it began as an elegant single-family home, with a spiral staircase running through three levels, before it became a rooming house. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. Zoning in the redevelopment area meant it had to be demolished or moved, so it was relocated to Beideman Place to join a row of restored Victorians. San Francisco's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board named it one of six Victorian structures of exceptional merit.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1901)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate (Victorian); an architect's letter calls it carpenter Gothic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Rated fair condition and unoccupied at nomination; it had been divided into rooming house units and poorly maintained.
