It is also identified with the Frisbee Grant.","why_significant":"The surviving text does not include a statement of significance (Section 8). It describes the area as the core of Vallejo's Victorian neighborhood, with the earliest homes in the earliest building styles. The city planned to zone it as a historic area to protect its integrity.","narrative":"This historic district in Vallejo, California, takes in a large residential area of early homes on streets including Carolina, Capitol, Virginia, Georgia, York, Sutter and Napa. The inventory describes several house types: narrow Italianate houses with flat, bracketed rooflines and carved classical trim; broader Queen Anne houses with gables, bay windows and patterned shingles; steep-pitched roof homes from the turn of the century; hip-roofed houses with dormers; California Bungalows; and stuccoed Mission or Spanish Revival homes with tile roofs. Some individual houses follow no set style and reflect their owners' wishes. The boundaries were drawn to define the core of Vallejo's Victorian area and to keep whole street frontages together, because the city planned to zone the district as historic. The block of Capitol Street ending in a flight of steep stairs is included as a natural entrance to the area. Photographs show the earliest and best examples, while the entire neighborhood is covered by the listing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate, Queen Anne, steep-pitched roof, hip roof with dormer, California Bungalow, and Mission/Spanish Revival houses","criteria":[],"status_note":"Mostly private residences, occupied, with some commercial buildings, apartments and a few vacant structures.
