Duboce Triangle Historic Context Statement (2022)

StyleRenaissance Revival

A monumental palazzo with a pair of Composite pilasters and a rusticated water table, and the statement's illustration of how the Born tract carried on after the 1906 earthquake. Inside the proposed S.A. Born Castro Street Historic District, one of five local landmark districts the statement recommends: fifteen rowhouses, flats and one apartment building put up on the west side of Castro Street between 1902 and 1907 as a high-end enclave, the statement suggests for doctors and administrators at the German Hospital opposite. The statement names the builder as Stephen A. Born in one passage and William S. Born in another. Christopher VerPlanck's context statement of 2022 surveyed 552 properties in Duboce Triangle for the Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association.
