2,092 square foot duplex Victorian with original Gothic Revival‐style verge boards at its gable end. Last sold for $89K in 1995.

Current estimates value the property at $2.3 million.

Considered historically significant as part of the Horner's Addition East Historic District.

This north‐south linear area in the western Mission District consists of Victorian‐era, high‐style architecture and homes for 19th‐century upper middle classes, located along the eastern edge of Horner’s Addition, one of the City’s first platted residential suburbs.

You may not like the choice of paint color, but you have to agree that it looks like a completely different house. This is about as far as you can get from a historically correct palette.

Last sold for $2,237,500 in 2002. Market value is about $7.1 million.

c. 1976
The John McMullen House is an impressive Queen Anne structure important as an example of the evolution of domestic architecture in San Francisco in the late 19th century. A simple early Victorian was converted by noted architect Samuel Newsom into a elegant tower house, with a multi-faceted roofline and fanciful decorative elements.

These alterations coincided with the increased prosperity and prominence of the owner, John McMullen. His obituary noted that "McMullen's history is the history of contracting in the West" (SF Chronicle, August 30, 1921).

Field notes from a 1976 Architectural Survey done by the City revealed the "destructive" owners to be "vandals" for removing original exterior details.

This photogenic beauty whose construction dates to 1891, according to its water connection documents is nestled amongst one of two rows of Cranston and Keenan Queen Anne tower houses that face each other along the 700 block of Broderick.

The exterior is graced with a delicate turret, rounded walls flanking the gable window, fish-scale shingling facing the upper floors and tower, and a full-faced flamboyantly carved sunburst at the peak. Foliate corner panels enliven the front porch entry, whose arch is echoed in the lovely curved balcony and balustrade above it. This is supported by a fan-shaped structure reminiscent of the Gothic Revival style

A second floor panel is decorated with applied foliate curlicues and a fancy central cartouche, above which is located a dentil molding that also repeats around the base of the roof. (excerpted from the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco NoPA House Tour HERE)

3,436 square foot 3 bedroom 3.5 bath Dutch Colonial built in 1897.

Last sold for $845K in 1996.

Current estimates value the property at about $5.4 million.

A WONDERFUL BLEND OF DETAILS WITH GAMBREL ROOF, OEIL DE BOEUF ATTIC WINDOW AND BALUSTRADED SEMI-CIRCULAR 1ST FLOOR BAY.

Yes, there were once cows in Cow Hollow, and back in 1880 the name for the area between Pacific Heights, the Marina, the Presidio, and Russian Hill would have made a lot more sense.

The area between Pacific Heights, the Marina, the Presidio, and Russian Hill was once home to San Francisco's dairy industry, with as many as 38 farms operating there at its peak in the late 19th Century, and plenty of grazing cattle roaming around.

Now, of course, it's a retail and residential district lined with frat-bro-friendly bars and such that is mostly just an extension of the Marina.
