It was connected to the city water system in 1876.","why_significant":"The house is an example of Italianate Victorian architecture with strongly vertical, well-detailed woodwork. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire in good condition. The San Francisco Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board named it one of the six most important Victorian structures of exceptional merit.","narrative":"Built around 1876 as a rental property, this narrow two-story wood frame house in San Francisco's Western Addition is an Italianate Victorian design. Its facade stresses vertical lines, with a two-story angled bay, a tall doorway and a single upper window, all round-headed. Carved brackets, pierced woodwork, a wooden keystone, flat cornices and bracketed eaves provide detail, and the front is covered in rusticated siding. Recent paint schemes in dark tones with white trim emphasize the angular detailing. The original owner lived on Kearny Street, and six later owners were absentee landlords before a redevelopment agency acquired it. The house survived the 1906 earthquake and fire and stayed in good condition. Over time it served as a bonsai store and a Japanese church, reflecting its place in the Japanese section of the Western Addition. Because of zoning in the redevelopment area, it was moved from Post Street to Sutter Street to join a row of Italianate Victorians. The city landmarks board ranked it among six exceptional Victorian buildings.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1876)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate Victorian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and unaltered; it was to be moved one block to Sutter Street near Buchanan for rehabilitation, and a later letter confirms it was relocated to 1813-13B Sutter Street.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.733497-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/73000443.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000443/fc57f8a727-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73000443/fc57f8a727-1600.webp","licence":"CC0","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1815_Sutter_NRHP_SF_CA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1815_Sutter_NRHP_SF_CA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861051","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_at_1813%E2%80%931813B_Sutter_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q118629422"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-francisco/building-at-1813-1813b-sutter-street-73000443/"}
