De Lano and his family.","why_significant":"It is one of the earliest residences in the Park Hill and Flint tracts and combines Italianate styling with Stick Style and Classical Revival detailing. Its cast iron Corinthian capitals on wooden columns and colonettes are rare in residential buildings, which the form links to the De Lanos' work as metalsmiths. It is also tied to De Lano Brothers, a marine service firm founded in 1884, and has been recorded in every city-wide architectural survey.","narrative":"Built in 1884 at 70 Buena Vista Terrace, this two-story wood-frame house sits on a steep slope in San Francisco's old Park Hill tract and is thought to be among the earliest buildings on its street. Its Italianate form includes a false front with large brackets, segmentally arched windows and a double-height rectangular bay borrowed from the Stick Style. The porch and ornament lean toward Classical Revival design. The most unusual feature is a set of cast iron Corinthian capitals set atop wooden columns and colonettes, a combination the nomination calls rare in residential work. The first owners, Silas L. De Lano and his family, were metal craftsmen, and in 1884 he and his sons founded De Lano Brothers, a marine service firm that continued operating nearly a century later. The house later became apartments, yet the street facade remains unaltered. City surveys from 1959, 1968 and 1976 each noted its architectural importance to the neighborhood.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific date 1884)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate, with Stick Style and Classical Revival borrowings","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence and apartments; converted to three units during World War II, with the street facade unaltered.
