A bit of history....

In 1909, Elizabeth Leslie Meyerfeld, aged nineteen, married Leon Roos of Roos Brothers Men's Clothing.

Elizabeth's father, Morris Meyerfeld, a partner in the Orpheum Theater Circuit, commissioned Bernard Maybeck to design a gift house for the couple while they vacationed in Europe, allowing the architect great freedom. The stunning result was this half-timbered, Tudor residence on a prime parcel in Presidio Heights.

At 10,000 square feet, the house is larger than it appears and is the largest residence Maybeck designed for a San Francisco client.

Forest Hill Clubhouse designed by Maybeck c. 1919

The neighborhood is most notable for a Bernard Maybeck designed clubhouse located at 381 Magellan built in 1919.

Built as the gathering place for the newly-established Forest Hill neighborhood, the historic Forest Hill Clubhouse is an exceptional building by acclaimed architect Bernard Maybeck, most famous for his Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Surrounded by brick patios and courtyards and shaded by mature trees, the Forest Hill Clubhouse is the perfect venue for all specific occassions including weddings, receptions, religious celebrations, celebrations of life, birthday and anniversary parties.

The Clubhouse is one of the finest examples of the Arts and Crafts style, boasting a Great Room with a soaring beamed ceiling, a charming mezzanine and beautifully detailed original woodwork, original light fixtures with mica shades, and some original furniture. After extensive renovations from April to October of 2013, the Clubhouse shines again in its original glory – but outfitted with modern-day amenities like a brand-new state-of-the art catering kitchen and ADA accessible restrooms.

Zuckerburg's garage keystone

I took a couple of shots of the house that Facebook built otherwise known as Chateau Chan-Zuckerberg which is just down the street at 3660 21st St. The manse sits sideways on a heavily-gated and alarmed lot so it was impossible to get any full frontals.

Zuckerberg paid $3 million for the property in 2012. The original 1,400 square foot structure, built in 1923, was demolished to make way for a 5,500+ square foot faux Tudor Revival.

The construction site was heavily guarded and the building process was overly long. In other words a protracted pain in the ass for the surrounding residents.

I was not invited over for cocktails nor do I expect an invite so no interior shots....Sorry❤︎
