It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board ranked it among the six most important Victorian structures in the redevelopment area.","narrative":"This two-story wood-frame house, built around 1868 and first standing at 770 Turk Street in San Francisco's Western Addition, is an Italianate residence that suggests spaciousness despite modest dimensions on a narrow lot. Its most distinctive feature is the fenestration: round-arched, double-hung windows set in striated mouldings, with fleur-de-lis ornaments above the upper windows. A deep porch with paired fluted Doric columns, a dentillated cornice and a lunette over the door give the entrance a strong presence. Water Department records date its connection to 1868, and the first owner was John K. Wood, a steamship company accountant. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, passed through six owners, and served as a rooming house. Because of redevelopment zoning it was moved to Scott Street at Ellis Street to join a row of relocated Victorians. The city's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board counted it among the six most important Victorian structures in the area.","period_of_significance":"19th Century; specific date 1868","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition; formerly used as a rooming house, and relocated from 770 Turk Street to Scott Street because of redevelopment zoning.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.523285-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/73000442.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000442/4cc37d1295-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000442/4cc37d1295-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1249-1251_Scott_St_(San_Francisco,_California).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:1249-1251_Scott_St_(San_Francisco,_California).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861163","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133479112"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-francisco/house-at-1249-1251-scott-street-73000442/"}
