The National Park Service has not published a boundary polygon for this district; the map shows the listed properties inside it and the district's reference point.
Why it's listed
San Francisco Maritime National Historic Site is a historic district in San Francisco, California, entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 under reference number 01000281. The material available here is a National Park Service locator card, an administrative record used to track the status of the nomination file. It was completed on 21 August 2009, and the NPS status box is marked. The card contains no description of the district's buildings, vessels, or landscape, and it names no architects, builders, styles, or periods of significance. It also does not state the criteria under which the district was listed or say anything about its present condition or use. Because of this, the reasons for its recognition cannot be drawn from this document. A full nomination narrative would be needed to explain what the district contains and why it was judged historically important.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
