806 Potrero St, Inner Mission


1133 sq ft 2/1 stripped  + stuccoed Stick Victorian fixer c. 1891


806 Potrero Avenue is located on a 24’ x 100’ rectangular lot on the west side of Potrero Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets. Built in 1891, 806 Potrero Avenue is a 1-story over raised basement, wood frame, single-family residence that has been altered from its original style. The rectangular-plan building, clad in smooth stucco, is capped by a flat roof.

The primary facade faces east and features an angled bay window to the south and a recessed narrow bay to the north. Entrances include a partially-glazed paneled wood door that is recessed in a small arched entryway and reached by a straight flight of terrazzo steps. A paneled wood basement door is also located below grade to the north. Fenestration consists of double-hung woodsash windows, one of which features a divided upper sash and transom.

Architectural details include the original site wall, a stuccoed entry hood, and a triangular pediment above the bay window. The facade terminates in a curved cornice and a pent roof parapet clad in asphalt shingles. The building was originally part of a row of 6 mirrored buildings built at the same time. The building appears to be in good condition.
