It was built for Martin O'Dea, a prominent horseshoer, as part of a complex from which he ran his business. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, and was to be moved to preserve it within a redevelopment area.","narrative":"This two-story wood frame house in San Francisco's Western Addition is a semi-detached dwelling in the Stick Style with Eastlake ornamentation. Its most striking feature is a tall, square two-story bay of narrow double windows, accented by flat vertical strips, small brackets and a carved foliate pediment. The recessed entrance has double doors and fluted columns with modified Corinthian capitals, topped by an ornamented pediment and a pair of wooden Grecian urns. Martin O'Dea, a prominent horseshoer from the East, built the house as part of a complex from which he ran his business. Water records show a connection in 1884, while a local architectural guide dates construction to 1875. The house and the two other structures on the property survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, and the family kept it until 1972. Because of redevelopment zoning, it was to be moved to Eddy Street to join a row of restored Victorians near a landmark church.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1875)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick Style with Eastlake ornamentation","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and very well maintained; slated to be moved from 751 Turk Street to Block 1127, Lot 15, on Eddy Street to be rehabilitated and preserved.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.768247-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/73000437.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000437/5f294f401f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000437/5f294f401f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_O%27Dea_house_(San_Francisco,_California)_2.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_O%27Dea_house_(San_Francisco,_California)_2.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861053","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_at_1840%E2%80%931842_Eddy_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q118629580"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-francisco/building-at-1840-1842-eddy-street-73000437/"}
