It dates to about 1876 and was built as a single-family dwelling.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an unusually elaborate example of the Stick-Eastlake style, with heavy millwork ornament and strong vertical emphasis. It was named one of six exceptional Victorian structures by the San Francisco Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board. Redevelopment zoning required it to be moved or demolished, so it was relocated for rehabilitation.","narrative":"This two-story wood frame house with a basement was built as a single-family home in San Francisco's Western Addition, originally at 773 Turk Street. Water Department records show it connected to the water system in 1876, though another source suggests the late 1880s. Its tall facade is a showpiece of Stick-Eastlake design, covered in millwork: scrolled brackets, fluted colonnettes with Ionic capitals, keystones, carved floral and sunburst panels, and a square bay rising to a gable and spire. Only the roofline cornice breaks the strong vertical emphasis. The first owner was F. Vollerni, followed by J. J. Volmer, and later owners rented the building out until the Redevelopment Agency bought it in 1967. Because of project-area zoning, the house had to be moved or demolished. The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board ranked it among the six most important Victorian structures in the city, and it was relocated to Webster Street to join a row of restored Victorians.","period_of_significance":"19th Century; specific date 1876","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in fair condition and unaltered, with original interior and exterior.
