4 nominal $1 street-space or sidewalk permits are omitted from the timeline. 7 expired permits are not shown. The assessor's roll gives 1900; the 2017 Corbett Heights context statement dates the building to 1890. The 2017 Corbett Heights context statement says the house was moved here from 1018 Seventeenth Street in 1894, on the evidence of its transom glass. A later reconstruction from the Twin Peaks Tunnel auction records places it at 4026-4028 Seventeenth Street until October 1914, and holds that the transom lights are a decade later than the house and not original to it.
