Merced Manor (Sub-District 3-f) is a compact neighborhood bordered by Sloat Boulevard to the north, 19th Avenue to the east, Eucalyptus Drive to the south and 20th Avenue to the west boasts beautifully kept residences. Most of the homes here were built between the early 1930s and the late 1950s, offering an impressive selection of architectural styles, from elaborate storybook homes with archways to the geometric lines of Streamline Moderne residences. Utilities are underground in this neighborhood and most properties have alleyways that allow homeowners to access their garages from the back, giving the neighborhood a gracious feel.

While being a residential neighborhood, Merced Manor is within walking distance of Stonestown Galleria, a full service shopping center. The nearby Lake Merced, Harding Park, the San Francisco Golf Club, the Olympic Club, and Stern Grove offer excellent biking, hiking and other recreational options. Access to Highway 1 and I-280 is quick and convenient, and public transportation allows one to reach downtown San Francisco in less than 30 minutes. (SF by Kate)

The Streamline Decade – Art Moderne or Streamline Moderne: 1930 – 1945

In stylistic terms, Streamline Moderne represents the last phase of Art Deco. Whereas Art Deco is concerned with surface ornament, color and abstractions of natural forms applied as decoration on buildings, Streamline Moderne is essentially a machine aesthetic focused on mass production, functional efficiency, and a more abstract aesthetic coming from the Bauhaus in Germany and the “white architecture” of Europe: The International Style. As the world was transitioning from the exuberance and richness of the “Roaring Twenties” and into the grips of austerity and self-discipline of Depression-era 1930s, the high-style architects were pushed aside in favor of industrial designers.
